FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
The SL 72 OG trainers are primarily designed for casual wear and light activities. While they offer comfort for walking, they are not engineered for high-impact running or specialized athletic performance.
How should I care for the leather material?
Gently clean the leather with a damp cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a dedicated leather cleaner and follow up with a leather conditioner to keep the material soft and prevent drying.
What is the best way to ensure the right fit?
Refer to the adidas sizing guide for accurate measurements. It is also recommended to try on the trainers if possible, paying attention to length, width, and overall comfort.
Can these trainers be worn in wet conditions?
While the rubber outsole provides some grip, the leather upper is not inherently waterproof. They are best suited for dry to mildly damp conditions. Avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain.
What does 'OG' in the product name signify?
'OG' typically stands for 'Original' or 'Original Garment', indicating that this model is a reissue or faithful reproduction of an original design, often maintaining key aesthetic and construction elements from the past.
How do I clean the EVA midsole?
The EVA midsole can be cleaned using a damp cloth with a small amount of mild soap. Gently scrub away dirt and rinse with a clean, damp cloth. Allow it to air dry.
Troubleshooting
Laces coming undone frequently.
Ensure the laces are tied securely with a double knot if necessary. Consider replacing the laces with a material that offers better grip.
Discomfort after extended wear.
Break in the trainers gradually. Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. If discomfort persists, the fit may not be ideal for your foot type.
Leather appears dry or stiff.
Apply a leather conditioner specifically designed for athletic footwear to restore moisture and flexibility. Follow product instructions carefully.
Soles losing grip.
Clean the rubber outsole thoroughly to remove any dirt or debris that may be affecting traction. If the tread is significantly worn down, replacement may be necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning the Leather Upper: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt. For stubborn stains, a leather cleaner specifically designed for footwear can be used, followed by a conditioning product to maintain the leather's suppleness.
- Cleaning the Midsole and Outsole: These can typically be cleaned with mild soap and water using a brush or cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the materials.
- Drying: Allow the trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the leather and adhesives.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in their original box or a shoe bag, to protect them from dust and direct sunlight.
