Product Information

Full details

The adidas Originals SL72 OG trainers are designed for adults seeking a blend of vintage 1970s aesthetics and modern everyday comfort. These shoes are perfect for casual wear and light walking, offering a lightweight construction with a signature low-profile silhouette; however, users should note that they are lifestyle trainers rather than performance-grade athletic footwear, meaning they lack the intense stability features required for long-distance running.

FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

Yes, the adidas SL72 OG generally fits true to size. If you prefer a looser fit or intend to wear thick socks, some users may prefer to size up by half a size.

Can I use these for running?

While originally designed as a running shoe in 1972, modern technology has far surpassed these in terms of support and energy return. They are best reserved for walking and casual lifestyle use.

How do I clean the nylon upper?

Use a mild soap solution and a soft cloth to gently wipe the nylon areas. Avoid using harsh chemicals or bleach.

Do these provide good arch support?

They feature a standard foam insole that offers basic comfort, but they do not provide intensive orthotic-grade arch support.

Can I replace the insoles?

Yes, the insoles are removable, allowing you to insert your own custom orthotics if preferred.

What is the best way to store the trainers?

Store them in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to prevent the nylon and leather colors from fading over time.

Troubleshooting

Visible dirt on the suede overlays

Use a specialized suede eraser or a soft, dry brush to gently lift the debris without damaging the nap.

Creasing at the forefoot

To maintain shape when not in use, insert cedar shoe trees or crumpled acid-free tissue paper.

Stiffness upon first wear

Wear the trainers for short periods indoors to allow the materials to soften and adapt to your foot shape.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Lightweight build prevents foot fatigue during extended wear
  • Breathable materials make them ideal for warmer weather
  • Versatile retro design pairs easily with various casual outfits
  • Low-profile cut allows for a natural range of motion at the ankle

Cons

  • Not intended for high-impact sports or long-distance athletic training
  • Lighter materials may require more frequent cleaning compared to full-leather trainers
  • Minimalist arch support compared to modern technical running shoes

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Because these are standard lace-up trainers, no complex setup is required. For the best fit, ensure the laces are adjusted to provide a secure lockdown across the midfoot while allowing the toes to splay naturally.

Care Instructions:

  1. Spot Clean: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt from the suede and nylon panels.
  2. Avoid Immersion: Do not submerge the shoes in water, as this can degrade the glue and suede components.
  3. Protect the Suede: Use a suede-specific water repellent spray to protect the overlays from staining.
  4. Air Dry: If the inner lining becomes damp, remove the insole and allow the shoe to air dry at room temperature away from direct heat sources.
