FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

No, while they have roots in performance footwear, the SL 72 OG is now primarily designed for casual lifestyle use and lacks the support features found in modern running shoes.

How should I clean the animal print pattern?

Clean the pattern area carefully with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh scrubbing or abrasive cleaning agents that could strip the pattern.

Do these shoes run true to size?

Generally, the adidas SL 72 fits true to size, but since they have a low-profile, slim fit, those with wider feet may prefer to size up by half.

Can I use these in the rain?

It is not recommended. Water and mud can damage the suede upper and lead to permanent staining. If they get wet, air dry them naturally away from heat sources.

What is the primary material used?

The upper is constructed primarily of suede, complemented by a cushioned EVA midsole and a durable gum rubber outsole.

Troubleshooting

Visible dirt on the suede upper

Use a specialized suede brush or a soft eraser to gently lift debris without damaging the nap of the material.

Creasing at the toe box

Insert wooden or plastic shoe trees when not in use to help maintain the structure and minimize deep creases.

Reduced traction on wet surfaces

Wipe the gum rubber outsole with a damp cloth to remove any built-up residue or grime that might cause slippage.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Versatile vintage-inspired aesthetic
  • Lightweight and comfortable for daily walking
  • Excellent traction provided by the gum rubber sole
  • High-quality suede material feels premium
  • Low-profile design pairs well with various casual outfits

Cons

  • Suede upper is susceptible to water damage
  • Not intended for high-intensity athletic performance
  • Animal print may not suit minimalist fashion preferences
  • Light-colored models require frequent cleaning

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your adidas SL 72 OG trainers remain in top condition, proper care is essential. Given the suede upper, it is highly recommended to use a suede-specific water and stain repellent spray before the first wear. If they become dirty, use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove surface dust and dirt; avoid submerging the shoes in water or placing them in a washing machine, as this can degrade the suede fibers and the adhesive bond of the sole. When storing, keep them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading of the animal print design.
