While originally a performance shoe in 1972, this modern edition is classified as a lifestyle trainer and is not intended for long-distance running or high-impact sports.

How should I clean the Blue and Yellow upper?

Do these trainers run true to size?

Yes, the SL 72 OG generally fits true to size according to standard UK sizing conventions.

Are these shoes water-resistant?

Where can I find my size?

Troubleshooting

Difficulty maintaining cleanliness on the upper

Use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove loose debris before using a mild cleaning solution meant for suede or leather.

Uncomfortable fit after long periods

Ensure the laces are tensioned correctly across the midfoot to allow for natural foot swelling throughout the day.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

For the best fit, ensure you select your standard UK sizing, as the SL 72 OG follows a traditional trainer construction. To care for your trainers, avoid machine washing or drying, as this can degrade the specialized materials. Instead, wipe the exterior with a damp, soft cloth to remove dirt. If the shoes become wet, air-dry them away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent the materials from stiffening or losing their shape. For storage, keep them in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight.
