FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard UK sizing for adidas trainers. If you are between sizes, consider the 4.5 UK size for a snug fit or sizing up if you prefer more room.
Can I use these for running?
While these were originally inspired by 1970s running silhouettes, they are classified as lifestyle trainers and are not recommended for long-distance or high-performance running.
How do I clean the leather upper?
Use a soft brush to remove dust and a damp, soft cloth with gentle leather cleaner for deeper cleaning. Avoid submerging the shoes in water.
Are these trainers unisex?
The SL 72 OG series features styles suitable for all; always check the specific sizing guide to ensure the best fit for your feet.
What is the primary material used?
This specific variant features a leather upper, providing a classic, durable structure.
Does the EVA midsole provide arch support?
The EVA midsole offers excellent lightweight cushioning, though it is not designed with medical-grade arch support.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel tight during the first wear
The leather upper will naturally stretch and mold to your foot over time; wear them for short durations initially to allow for a comfortable break-in period.
Outsole collecting debris in the tread
Use a stiff-bristled brush to clear any rocks or dirt caught in the grippy pattern to restore optimal traction.
Minor scuffs on the leather
Use a high-quality leather conditioner or a matching shoe polish to buff out minor surface scuffs and restore the shine.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your SL 72 OG trainers remain in top condition, proper care is essential. Since the upper is made of leather, avoid machine washing, which can damage the finish and shape. Instead, use a soft, dry brush to remove loose dirt from the surface after use. For tougher stains, use a damp cloth with a mild leather cleaner designed for footwear. Store your shoes in a cool, dry area away from direct sunlight to prevent the material from cracking or fading. For the best fit, consider using a standard cotton sock to manage moisture and prevent friction during the initial break-in phase.
