FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While the SL 72 OG model has roots in running heritage, they are best suited for casual wear and light athletic activities today due to their design and cushioning. They are not intended for serious or performance-based running.
How do I determine my correct UK size?
Refer to the adidas sizing chart available on their official website or consult product-specific sizing guides. Generally, measure your foot length and compare it to the corresponding UK size.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the suede, textile, and adhesives, potentially altering the shoe's shape and integrity.
What is the primary material of the upper?
The upper is a combination of breathable textile material and soft suede.
How do I care for the suede parts?
Use a suede brush to clean off dry dirt and maintain the texture. For stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner and allow the shoes to air dry naturally.
What does 'OG' stand for in the product name?
'OG' typically stands for 'Original' or 'Original Gangster', indicating that this model is a reissue or revival of the original design from 1972.
Is this a unisex model?
Yes, the product description indicates these are unisex trainers suitable for adults.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable.
Ensure you have the correct UK size. If new, wear them for short periods to allow the materials to break in. Loosening or tightening the laces can also adjust fit.
Suede material looks dull or dirty.
Use a suede brush to restore the nap. For persistent marks, a specialized suede cleaner can be applied following product instructions. Allow to air dry completely.
Tread on the outsole is losing grip.
Ensure the outsole is clean of debris. If wear is significant, it indicates the shoes have been heavily used and may need replacement for optimal traction.
