FAQs
Are the adidas SL 72 OG trainers good for running?
While they were originally designed as track shoes in the 70s, modern usage is best suited for lifestyle and casual fashion rather than professional running.
How do I clean the leather upper?
Wipe with a soft, damp cloth for light debris. Use a mild leather cleaner for tougher stains, avoiding harsh detergents.
Do these shoes run true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard UK sizing, though the slim silhouette may feel snug for those with wider feet.
Can I replace the insoles?
The insoles are generally removable, allowing you to swap them out for custom orthotics if needed.
What material is the upper made of?
The adidas SL 72 OG is constructed with premium leather.
Are they water-resistant?
Leather offers some natural protection, but they are not waterproof. Avoid wearing them in heavy rain to protect the silver finish.
Troubleshooting
Creasing in the leather toe box
Use cedar shoe trees when not wearing to help maintain the shoe's shape and reduce permanent creasing.
Surface scuffs on the silver finish
Gently buff the scuffed area with a soft cloth and a light application of leather conditioning cream designed for metallic finishes.
Trainer feels too tight
Try adjusting the lacing pattern to be looser or switch to thinner, low-cut socks to provide more internal volume.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your SL 72 OG trainers remain in top condition, proper care is essential. Since these shoes feature a leather exterior, avoid submerging them in water or using harsh chemical cleaners. To maintain the silver finish, wipe away surface dirt with a soft, dry cloth after use. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized leather-safe cleaner applied sparingly. For compatibility, these trainers run true to standard UK sizing; however, since they feature a sleek, narrow cut, individuals with wider feet may prefer to try them on with thin socks or consider a half-size adjustment if available. Always store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the leather from drying out or fading.
