FAQs
What makes these trainers unique for the season?
These trainers feature special leather uppers with playful, seasonal details, particularly inspired by Valentines Day, giving them a unique aesthetic twist on the classic SL 72 design.
Are these suitable for athletic performance?
While inspired by track shoes, the SL 72 is primarily designed for casual wear. They offer comfort and durability for everyday activities but lack the advanced features of modern performance athletic footwear.
What material is the upper made of?
The upper is primarily made of leather, offering a premium feel and durability.
How do I choose the right size?
Refer to the size chart provided by adidas Originals. The UK 7.5 size is specified for this particular product variant.
Can these trainers be worn in wet weather?
The leather upper can be affected by excessive moisture. While they offer some protection, they are not designed for heavy rain. It's advisable to avoid wearing them in very wet conditions and to ensure they are properly dried if they do get wet.
What is the construction method used?
These trainers use a 'Cold Cement' construction, a classic method that contributes to their durability and retro feel.
Where can I find other sizes or colors?
This guide focuses on the specific UK 7.5 Pink/Red variant. Other sizes and colorways are available under different product listings for the SL 72 series.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Wear them with thicker socks for a short period to help them stretch naturally. You can also use a shoe stretcher if persistent tightness is an issue.
Leather upper looks dry or dull
Apply a small amount of leather conditioner with a soft cloth to restore moisture and shine. Test on an inconspicuous area first.
Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces
Ensure the rubber outsole is clean and free from debris. If the issue persists, the outsole may be worn and require replacement by a professional cobbler.
Discoloration on the upper
Wipe gently with a damp cloth. For stubborn marks, use a cleaner specifically designed for the material (e.g., leather cleaner for leather parts). Avoid abrasive cleaners.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These trainers require no assembly. Simply lace them up and wear them.
Compatibility: Designed for adult women, suitable for casual wear and pairing with various casual outfits.
Care:
- Cleaning the Leather Upper: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt and dust. For tougher stains, a specialized leather cleaner may be used sparingly. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive water.
- Cleaning the Midsole and Outsole: A damp cloth or a soft brush can be used to clean the EVA midsole and rubber outsole.
- Drying: Allow the trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as this can damage the leather and affect the shoe's shape.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag or their original box, to protect them from dust and moisture.
