Product Information
Full details
The Adidas Originals SL72 RS trainers are designed for individuals who value a blend of vintage aesthetic and modern everyday comfort. These running-inspired shoes are perfect for city dwellers and casual explorers who need a versatile trainer that transitions seamlessly from morning errands to evening social outings. While the lightweight nylon and suede construction offers excellent style and breathability, the trainers are optimized for urban walking rather than high-intensity athletic performance, meaning they are best reserved for lifestyle wear.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While inspired by vintage running gear, these are lifestyle trainers and are not designed for modern high-intensity athletic performance.
How do I clean the cream colorway?
Spot clean the nylon with mild soapy water and a cloth. Use a dry suede brush for the suede overlays to avoid water damage.
Do these run true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard Adidas sizing for a UK 5.5 fit.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
It is not recommended, as machine washing can damage the suede accents and compromise the glue bonds in the sole.
Are they good for wide feet?
The SL72 RS has a slim, retro-inspired profile, so those with very wide feet may find them snug and might prefer sizing up.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks dull or matted
Use a soft-bristled suede brush to gently lift the fibers and restore the original texture.
Creasing on the upper
Use shoe trees when not in use to help the nylon retain its shape and minimize deep creases.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your trainers last, follow these maintenance tips:
- Cleaning: Wipe the nylon sections with a soft, damp cloth. Use a specialized suede brush to gently remove dirt from the suede overlays; avoid getting the suede overly wet to prevent staining.
- Storage: Keep your shoes in a cool, dry area away from direct sunlight, which can fade the cream colorway over time.
- Compatibility: These trainers feature a standard fit for a UK size 5.5. Because of the sleek silhouette, they pair best with slim or tapered-cut trousers to highlight the retro design.
- Insoles: The provided insoles are removable if you prefer to swap them for custom orthotics.
