FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

Yes, they generally follow standard adidas sizing; if you prefer a looser fit, some users find a half-size up is helpful.

Can these be worn for running?

While based on a 70s running shoe, they lack the modern cushioning required for safe, high-impact running and should be kept to casual wear.

How do I clean the silver accents?

Wipe the silver metallic accents gently with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid abrasive sponges which may scratch the finish.

Is the material waterproof?

The materials are not waterproof; it is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain to protect the integrity of the construction.

Are these suitable for people with wide feet?

The SL 72 OG has a relatively slim, heritage-inspired silhouette, so those with very wide feet may find the fit tight in the forefoot.

Troubleshooting

Creasing in the toe box area

Use a shoe tree when not in use to help maintain the structure and minimize deep creases.

Surface dirt on the midsole

Gently scrub the midsole with a mild soap solution and a soft cloth; avoid saturating the fabric upper.

Laces coming untied frequently

Consider a double knot or replacing with laces of a textured material if the included ones are too slick.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Timeless 1970s vintage design
  • Versatile color palette works with most outfits
  • Comfortable fit for all-day casual wear
  • Lightweight construction for ease of movement

Cons

  • Limited arch support compared to dedicated performance shoes
  • Not suitable for high-intensity sports or heavy gym use
  • Light-colored materials or delicate finishes require careful cleaning

Setup, Compatibility & Care

When sizing these trainers, refer to standard UK sizing for a comfortable, snug fit. As these are lifestyle shoes, no special setup is required; simply ensure the laces are adjusted to your preference to secure the fit. To maintain the appearance of the black and silver finish, store the shoes in a dry, cool place out of direct sunlight to prevent fading. Use a soft-bristled brush to remove surface dust and a damp cloth for minor scuffs. Avoid machine washing or using harsh chemical cleaners, as this may compromise the adhesion and material quality.
