Product Information

Full details

The Adidas SL 72 trainers are designed for adults seeking a blend of retro-inspired style and everyday comfort. Originally engineered as high-performance running shoes, these trainers feature a lightweight, breathable construction enhanced by premium leather and suede accents, making them ideal for all-day wear. While they provide excellent versatility and a classic aesthetic, prospective buyers should note that the shoe's heritage design prioritizes a low-profile fit over modern high-cushion support systems.

FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

Yes, the Adidas SL 72 fits standard UK sizing, though the low-profile design may feel slightly more snug than modern mesh trainers.

Can I use these for long-distance running?

While originally designed as running shoes, the SL 72 is now considered a lifestyle trainer; it does not offer the advanced shock absorption required for long-distance athletic running.

How do I keep the white sections clean?

Use a mild soap solution and a soft-bristled toothbrush to gently spot-clean the white accents, then air dry away from heat sources.

Is the material waterproof?

No, the leather and suede materials are not waterproof and should be protected from heavy rain to prevent staining or material degradation.

Are these suitable for wide feet?

The SL 72 has a slimmer, retro fit. Those with wider feet may find the toe box somewhat restricted compared to more modern, wider-cut sneakers.

Troubleshooting

Leather looks dull or loses its shine

Apply a small amount of leather conditioner suitable for sneakers to restore moisture and shine.

Suede appears matted or stained

Use a specialized suede brush or a pencil eraser to gently lift the nap of the material and remove surface debris.

Laces coming undone frequently

Double-knot the laces or swap for wax-coated athletic laces to increase friction.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Iconic, classic design that never goes out of style
  • Lightweight construction prevents foot fatigue during daily wear
  • High-quality leather and suede materials offer a premium feel
  • Breathable design helps keep feet cool throughout the day

Cons

  • Lower profile sole lacks the deep cushioning of modern athletic shoes
  • Leather surfaces require regular maintenance to prevent scuffs
  • Narrower fit profile may not suit all foot shapes

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Because the SL 72 utilizes premium leather and suede materials, proper care is essential for maintaining their appearance. Avoid soaking the shoes in water, as this can damage the leather finish. If they become dirty, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry mud or dust from the suede sections, and wipe the leather areas with a clean, slightly damp cloth. For storage, keep them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the black color from fading. Ensure you wear appropriate athletic socks to preserve the interior lining of the shoe over time.
