FAQs
What is the main inspiration for the SL 72 RS design?
The design is inspired by the slim, racing silhouettes popular in the 1970s, reinterpreted for modern, everyday wear.
Are these trainers suitable for running or sports?
These trainers are primarily designed for casual wear and offer comfort for daily activities. They are not intended for high-impact sports or competitive running.
How do I care for the suede material?
Use a soft brush for dry dirt and specialized suede cleaners for stains. Avoid excessive moisture and always allow them to air dry.
What is the fit like?
They are designed for a regular fit with a traditional lacing system for precise adjustment. Some users may find the slim profile to be narrower than average.
What materials are used in the construction?
The trainers utilize a combination of suede overlays, a textured knit/mesh upper, a synthetic lining, a foam midsole, and a rubber outsole.
How do I clean the knit/mesh parts of the upper?
You can gently wipe the knit/mesh sections with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh detergents.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, especially the suede and the structure of the shoe.
Troubleshooting
Laces become difficult to tighten
Ensure the eyelets are clear of debris. Re-thread the laces carefully to ensure they glide smoothly.
Suede appears worn or stained
Use a suede brush to restore the nap. For stains, consult a specialized suede cleaning guide or product. Test any cleaner on an inconspicuous area first.
Soles feel slippery
Ensure the rubber outsole is clean and free of mud or debris. If the shoe is significantly worn, the tread may be depleted, suggesting replacement is needed.
Discomfort after initial wear
Allow a break-in period of a few wears. Adjust lacing to ensure a proper fit without being too tight. If discomfort persists, the fit may not be suitable for your foot type.
