Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your adidas SL 72 RS trainers last, proper maintenance is key. Since these models utilize a mix of nylon and leather, avoid machine washing or drying, as this can degrade the materials. For minor surface dirt, use a soft-bristled brush to remove debris. For deeper stains, wipe gently with a damp cloth and mild soap, paying special attention to the lighter cream portions. To maintain shape when not in use, keep the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, and use shoe trees or paper inserts.
