FAQs
Are these sneakers suitable for running or sports?
While sports-inspired, the Adidas SL 72 OG is designed primarily for casual wear and everyday comfort, not for high-performance running or intense athletic activities.
What materials are these sneakers made from?
The sneakers feature a combination of smooth leather for the uppers and textured hairy suede overlays, complemented by an EVA midsole and a rubber outsole.
How should I clean the suede parts?
For suede, use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt. For tougher stains, a suede eraser or a mild suede cleaner should be used, always testing on an inconspicuous area first.
Are these true to size?
Info needed: Sizing can vary. It is generally recommended to refer to Adidas's official size guide or try them on to ensure the best fit.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
The suede and leather materials are not inherently waterproof. It is recommended to apply a water and stain repellent spray to protect them from moisture and prolong their life, especially in wet conditions.
What is the primary benefit of the EVA midsole?
The EVA (Ethylene-vinyl acetate) midsole provides lightweight cushioning and shock absorption, contributing to comfortable wear throughout the day.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks matted or dirty
Use a suede brush to gently brush the nap in one direction to lift dirt and restore texture. For stubborn spots, a suede eraser can be effective.
Leather appears dull or dry
Clean the leather with a damp cloth, then apply a small amount of leather conditioner or polish to restore its luster and keep it supple.
Sneakers develop an odor
Remove insoles if possible and allow shoes to air out. Use odor-absorbing inserts or sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes overnight to neutralize smells. Ensure socks are worn to minimize sweat accumulation.
Squeaking sound when walking
This can sometimes be caused by friction between the insole and the shoe's interior. Try removing the insole, sprinkling a small amount of baby powder or cornstarch inside, and then replacing the insole. If the squeak persists, it might be due to the outsole.

Care Instructions
Maintaining your Adidas SL 72 OG sneakers will ensure their longevity and appearance.
- General Cleaning:
- For the leather sections, gently wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap.
- For suede overlays, use a soft-bristle brush (like a suede brush) to remove loose dirt and restore the nap.
- Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as they can damage the materials.
- Stain Removal:
- For suede stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner or eraser. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
- For leather stains, a leather cleaner or conditioner can be applied.
- Drying:
- Always air dry your sneakers at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight, which can cause cracking or fading.
- Stuffing with paper towels can help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
- Protection:
- Consider using a water and stain repellent spray specifically designed for leather and suede to protect against the elements.
- Storage:
- Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
