Product Information
Full details
The Adidas SL 72 OG is a classic, low-profile trainer designed for adults who appreciate a blend of 1970s heritage aesthetics and modern casual comfort. Ideal for everyday urban wear and lifestyle activities, these shoes offer a lightweight build and stylish suede-accented profile, though the slim, vintage-inspired design may offer less arch support compared to dedicated high-performance athletic footwear.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While originally launched as an athletic shoe in 1972, they are now primarily intended for casual, lifestyle use and do not provide the technical support required for modern running.
What materials are used in the upper?
The shoe features a premium leather base with suede overlays for added durability and style.
How do I clean the white midsole?
The EVA midsole can typically be wiped clean using a damp cloth with a small amount of mild soap.
Does the sizing run true?
The SL 72 OG follows standard sizing for a regular fit; if you prefer thicker socks, you may want to ensure your standard size provides enough room.
Are they waterproof?
No, they are not waterproof. It is recommended to treat them with a protective spray if you plan to wear them in damp conditions.
Troubleshooting
Suede overlays showing water spots
Allow to air dry naturally away from direct heat. Once dry, use a suede brush to gently restore the nap.
Laces coming untied frequently
Ensure the lace closure is pulled through the eyelets evenly and consider using a double knot for a more secure fit during active days.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Timeless and versatile vintage aesthetic
- Lightweight and flexible for daily wear

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your SL 72 OG trainers remain in top condition, follow these guidelines:
- Fit: Use the regular lace-up system to adjust the fit to your specific foot shape.
- Cleaning: Since the upper features leather and suede, avoid immersing the shoes in water. Use a specialized suede brush for the overlays and a damp cloth with a gentle leather cleaner for the smooth leather sections.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the red pigment from fading.
- Protection: Consider applying a water-repellent spray specifically designed for suede and leather to protect against moisture and stains.
