Product Information

Full details

The adidas Originals SL72 CORDURA Trainers in Black and Charcoal are designed for adults seeking rugged, retro-inspired footwear for everyday durability and archival style. Their key benefit is the combination of tough Cordura® fabric for longevity with a cushioned EVA midsole for comfort. A potential caveat is that while built for durability, they are primarily suited for casual wear and light trails, not high-performance athletic activities. These trainers feature a low-profile silhouette, a ripple rubber outsole for grip, and breathable mesh details.

FAQs

What is Cordura® fabric?

Cordura® is a highly durable and abrasion-resistant fabric known for its strength and longevity, often used in performance apparel and gear.

Are these trainers suitable for running?

While they offer cushioning, the SL72 CORDURA Trainers are primarily designed for casual wear and light activities. They are not intended for high-impact running or professional athletic training.

How do I ensure I get the right fit?

Refer to the size chart and ensure your foot measurements align. Try them on indoors with the type of socks you typically wear to check for comfort and fit.

Can these trainers be machine washed?

No, machine washing is not recommended. Hand cleaning with a damp cloth and mild soap is the preferred method to protect the materials and construction.

What is the main advantage of the EVA midsole?

The EVA (Ethylene Vinyl Acetate) midsole provides lightweight cushioning and shock absorption, contributing to overall comfort during wear.

Are these trainers waterproof?

The Cordura® fabric offers some resistance to water and dirt, but the trainers are not fully waterproof. They are designed for general wear and protection against light moisture.

Troubleshooting

Laces are difficult to tie securely.

Ensure the laces are not frayed. If they are, consider replacing them. Try a double knot for extra security.

Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable after short wear.

Verify you have the correct size. Try wearing them with thinner socks initially. Walk around indoors to break them in gently.

Material appears scuffed or dirty.

Refer to the 'Care Instructions' for guidance on cleaning the specific materials (Cordura® and mesh). A soft brush and mild soap are generally effective.

Outsole grip seems reduced on wet surfaces.

The ripple rubber outsole provides good grip, but extreme wet conditions can reduce traction for any footwear. Exercise caution on very slick surfaces.

Pros and Cons

  • Durable Cordura® upper offers excellent longevity.
  • Lightweight EVA midsole provides comfortable cushioning.
  • Retro design appeals to vintage and casual style enthusiasts.
  • Good grip from the ripple rubber outsole for urban environments.
  • Breathable materials enhance comfort during wear.

Cons

  • Primarily suited for casual wear, not intense athletic performance.
  • The retro styling may not appeal to all fashion preferences.
  • While durable, Cordura® may require specific cleaning to maintain appearance.
  • Low-profile design might offer less ankle support for some users.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These trainers require no assembly. Simply lace them up to your preferred tightness using the secure lace closure.

Compatibility: The SL72 CORDURA Trainers are designed as footwear for adult males. They are compatible with a wide range of casual and athleisure apparel.

Care Instructions: To maintain the appearance and integrity of your trainers:

  1. Cleaning the Upper: Gently wipe the Cordura® fabric and mesh with a slightly damp cloth. For tougher dirt, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush, then wipe clean with a damp cloth.
  2. Cleaning the Midsole and Outsole: Use a soft brush or cloth with a mild soap and water mixture to clean the EVA midsole and rubber outsole. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
  3. Drying: Allow the trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer, as this can damage the materials.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, when not in use. Using a shoe tree can help maintain their shape.
