FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

The Adidas SL 72 RS Trainers are inspired by retro running silhouettes but are designed primarily for casual, everyday wear. They offer comfort for walking but may not provide the specialized support or cushioning needed for intense running.

What material is the upper made of?

The upper of the Adidas SL 72 RS Trainers is made from premium leather.

How should I clean the leather part of the trainers?

Wipe the leather with a soft, damp cloth. For more stubborn dirt, use a mild leather cleaner and apply it sparingly. Always allow the shoes to air dry naturally.

What does 'SL 72 RS' stand for?

'SL' typically refers to 'Sport Lifestyle' in Adidas naming conventions, and '72' indicates the year the original silhouette was introduced. 'RS' likely denotes a modern update or variation of the classic model.

Do these trainers come in other colors?

Yes, the Adidas SL 72 RS series is available in various colorways. The specific model mentioned features Dusky Petrol, Cream White, and Sand Strata, but other color combinations exist within the SL 72 RS line.

What is the fit like?

The fit is described as regular. It's recommended to try them on if possible, as individual foot shapes can vary.

Are they good for all-day wear?

Yes, they are designed for everyday wear with a lightweight foam midsole providing cushioning and comfort throughout the day.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Ensure laces are loosened before putting them on. If they remain tight, consider if the 'regular' fit is suitable for your foot shape. Break-in periods can also help.

Leather shows water marks

Wipe the affected area with a clean, damp cloth. Once dry, use a leather conditioner to restore moisture and minimize the appearance of marks. Avoid wearing in heavy rain if possible.

Outsole grip seems reduced

Clean the outsole tread thoroughly with a brush to remove any embedded dirt or debris that might be affecting traction.

Discoloration of the gold foil logo

Avoid direct contact with abrasive materials or chemicals. Clean gently with a very slightly damp cloth, ensuring not to scrub the logo.

Cons

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning the Leather Upper: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt and dust. For tougher stains, a dedicated leather cleaner can be used sparingly. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  • Midsole and Outsole: Clean with a damp cloth or a soft brush. Ensure no debris is lodged in the tread.
  • Laces: Remove and hand wash laces separately if needed. Allow them to air dry completely.
  • Drying: Always air dry the shoes naturally. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or prolonged exposure to sunlight, as this can damage the leather and adhesives.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag or the original box, to protect them from dust and maintain their shape.
