FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
The SL 72 RS are designed for casual wear and urban adventures, not for high-performance running. They offer cushioning but lack the specialized support features of dedicated running shoes.
What material is the upper made of?
The upper is primarily made of nylon with suede overlays.
How do I clean the suede parts?
Use a specialized suede brush to clean suede. For more stubborn dirt, a suede cleaner or a slightly damp cloth can be used carefully, followed by air drying.
What is the main benefit of the EVA midsole?
The EVA midsole provides lightweight cushioning and shock absorption, contributing to the overall comfort of the trainers for everyday wear.
Do these trainers come in other colors?
This guide focuses on the Black variant. Other colorways and sibling models might be available from Adidas Originals.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
While the rubber outsole offers some grip, the nylon and suede upper is not inherently waterproof. They are best suited for dry to moderately damp conditions.
What does 'RS' stand for in SL 72 RS?
The 'RS' in SL 72 RS typically denotes a refreshed or 're-engineered' version of the original silhouette, updated for modern style and comfort.
Troubleshooting
Sizing feels too tight or loose
Refer to the Adidas sizing guide and consider trying a half-size up or down. Ensure laces are adjusted correctly for a snug fit.
Slight discomfort after first wear
Allow a break-in period of a few wears. The EVA midsole and synthetic lining will adapt to your foot shape over time.
Nylon upper appears dirty
Use a damp cloth with a small amount of mild soap to gently clean the affected area. Blot with a clean, dry cloth.
Suede overlays look matted or stained
Use a dedicated suede brush to lift the nap and remove light marks. For tougher stains, consult a specialist suede cleaner.
