FAQs
What inspired the adidas x Bob Marley collection?
The collection is inspired by archival outfits, musical legacy, and Bob Marley's love for football, crafted in close collaboration with The Bob Marley Foundation.
Are these trainers suitable for athletic performance?
While inspired by track and field designs for grip and comfort, they are primarily intended for lifestyle and casual wear, not for intense athletic training.
How do I clean the suede parts of the trainers?
Use a specialized suede brush to remove dirt and maintain the texture. For stains, a dedicated suede cleaner is recommended, always testing on an inconspicuous area first.
What does 'JFF' stand for?
'JFF' likely refers to the Jamaica Football Federation, tying into Bob Marley's connection with football.
Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, especially the leather, suede, and cushioning.
What is the main difference between SL 72 and SL 72 RS?
The 'RS' in SL 72 RS often denotes 'Retro Suede' or a specific update to the original SL 72 silhouette, potentially incorporating revised materials or cushioning technologies.
Where can I find other sizes or colors in this collection?
The adidas x Bob Marley collection may include other colorways and sizes. Check the product details for available variants or explore the broader adidas Originals range.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dirty or matted
Use a suede brush to restore the nap. For tougher stains, a suede cleaner may be required, followed by brushing.
Laces are worn or dirty
Replace laces with standard trainers laces. Clean existing laces separately by hand washing.
General scuff marks on leather/textile
Wipe gently with a slightly damp cloth. For persistent marks, consult a leather care product suitable for the material.
Reduced grip on outsole
Ensure the rubber outsole is free from mud and debris. Minor wear is normal; significant degradation may indicate the end of the shoe's lifespan for optimal grip.
