FAQs

What does the RS stand for in the SL 72 RS?

RS stands for 'Reshaped,' indicating that this version features an updated, improved fit compared to the original SL 72 model.

Are these shoes waterproof?

The shoes feature an Aditex weatherproof membrane that provides protection against moisture, but they are not fully waterproof and should not be submerged in water.

Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?

No, it is highly recommended to avoid the washing machine as it can damage the premium leather and the structure of the shoe.

How do these fit compared to standard sizing?

With the reshaped fit, they generally align with standard adult UK sizing; if you prefer extra room, consider your typical adidas size.

What is the primary material used?

The upper is constructed from premium leather, supported by a synthetic-based weatherproof membrane and a rubber outsole.

Are the insoles removable?

The insoles are designed for comfort and the reshaped fit, but they are not intended to be removed and replaced frequently.

Troubleshooting

Creasing on the leather upper

Use a shoe tree when not wearing the trainers to help the leather maintain its shape and minimize deep creases.

Difficulty maintaining the white midsole cleanliness

Use a specialized sneaker cleaning solution and a soft-bristled brush to gently scrub the midsole edges, followed by wiping with a clean cloth.

Water spots on the leather

Allow the shoes to dry naturally at room temperature away from direct heat sources. Once dry, apply a leather restorer.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your SL 72 RS trainers stay in top condition, proper care of the leather is essential.

Cleaning: Use a soft, dry brush to remove loose dirt from the leather after use.
Stains: If the leather becomes wet or soiled, wipe gently with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or industrial detergents as they may damage the material.
Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can cause the leather to fade or crack.
Maintenance: Regularly apply a leather conditioner suitable for sneakers to maintain the suppleness of the Olive Strata finish.
