Use a soft brush or cloth with a mild soap and water solution. Avoid harsh chemicals and allow the shoes to air dry naturally.

What does 'RS' stand for in SL72 RS?

The 'RS' likely denotes a specific iteration or update to the original SL72 silhouette within the adidas catalog, possibly related to materials or design refinements for this particular release.

Troubleshooting

Sizing seems incorrect.

Refer to the adidas sizing chart and compare with your foot measurements. Note that unisex sizing may differ from gender-specific sizing.

Dirt or scuff marks on the upper.

Gently clean the affected area with a soft brush or cloth using a mild soap and water solution. For stubborn marks on nylon, test a specialized cleaner in an inconspicuous area first.

Laces are worn or dirty.

Replace laces with a similar style and length. You can often find replacement laces at footwear retailers or online.

Inner sole feels uncomfortable.

Ensure the shoe is properly tied. If discomfort persists, consider using aftermarket insoles designed for trainers, ensuring they fit the shoe's volume.
