Product Information
Full details
The adidas Originals SL72 OG trainers are designed for adults seeking a blend of heritage-inspired aesthetics and everyday comfort. Originally launched in 1972, these trainers offer a lightweight, breathable construction that is perfect for casual daily wear, though they lack the high-performance technical support of modern athletic-specific running shoes.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While the SL72 was originally a runner in 1972, this OG reissue is intended for lifestyle and casual use. We recommend modern performance shoes for dedicated running.
What materials are used in the upper?
The upper consists of a breathable nylon base with suede overlays and leather accents for added structure.
How does the sizing run?
The shoes generally run true to standard UK adult sizing.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
We do not recommend machine washing, as the heat and agitation can damage the suede and leather components.
What is the Ecotex tongue?
The Ecotex tongue is a signature design element of the SL72 OG that provides unique texture and contributes to the shoe's distinct vintage profile.
Troubleshooting
Material shows water spots after rain
Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, then use a suede brush to restore the nap of the material.
Creasing on the toe box
This is common with nylon and leather-trimmed footwear; using a shoe tree when not in use can help maintain the shape.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your SL72 OG trainers in top condition, follow these recommendations:
- Sizing: These shoes follow standard UK adult sizing. It is recommended to try them on with your preferred daily socks to ensure the correct fit.
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt from the suede and nylon. For deeper stains on the nylon, a damp cloth with mild soap can be used; avoid submerging the shoes in water.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the vibrant brown colour from fading.
- Protection: Consider applying a protective spray specifically designed for suede and nylon to help repel moisture and dirt.
