FAQs
Are the adidas SL72 trainers suitable for running?
While originally designed as track trainers, the modern SL72 is intended as a lifestyle shoe. It is suitable for casual walking, but not recommended for professional or long-distance running.
How should I clean the nylon upper?
Use a soft cloth dampened with a mixture of mild soap and water. Gently wipe the surface and allow it to air dry.
Do these shoes run true to size?
Generally, the adidas Originals SL72 fits true to size. If you prefer a looser fit or intend to wear thick socks, some users recommend going up by a half size.
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the suede materials and compromise the adhesives. Stick to manual cleaning methods.
What is the primary material used?
The upper is constructed primarily from nylon with soft suede overlays.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt on suede accents
Use a specialized suede brush or a dry, clean eraser to gently lift dirt without damaging the nap.
Creasing on the upper
Insert shoe trees when not in use to help the nylon and suede materials retain their structure.
Outsole losing grip
Clean the ripple outsole with warm soapy water and a brush to remove debris or grime buildup.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your SL72 trainers last, avoid using them in muddy or wet conditions, as the suede accents can become stained or discolored. For routine cleaning, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt from the suede and nylon surfaces. If a deeper clean is required, use a mild leather cleaner specifically designed for suede and a damp cloth for the nylon areas. Always allow your shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources to prevent material warping. For storage, keep them in a cool, dry place and use a shoe tree or stuffed paper to help maintain the original shape.
