FAQs

What makes this SL 72 model special?

This model is part of a special collaboration with The Bob Marley Foundation, featuring design elements inspired by the legendary musician's life, music, and heritage, alongside gold-tone branding.

Are these trainers suitable for athletic performance?

These trainers are primarily designed for lifestyle and casual wear. While they offer comfort and support for everyday activities, they are not intended for high-performance athletic training.

How do I find the right size?

Refer to the size chart provided by the retailer or adidas. This guide specifies UK sizing (UK 5.5 for this particular model), and it's recommended to measure your foot for the most accurate fit.

Can the leather parts be waterproofed?

While you can use specific leather waterproofing sprays, always test on a small, hidden area first. Be aware that this might alter the texture or appearance of the leather. Standard care involves cleaning and conditioning.

What is the difference between SL 72 and SL 72 RS models?

The 'RS' designation often indicates a 'Restomod' or updated version of the original design. While sharing the core SL 72 DNA, RS models might feature slight material or construction enhancements for contemporary wearability.

How should I store these trainers when not in use?

Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading or material degradation. Keeping them in their original box or a breathable shoe bag is recommended.

Is this a limited edition release?

Yes, this collection is a special edition collaboration, which means availability may be limited and it might not be restocked indefinitely.

Troubleshooting

Squeaking sound when walking

This can sometimes occur due to friction within the shoe or between the sole and the insole. Try removing the insole, cleaning both it and the inside of the shoe, and then reinserting the insole. Ensure the laces are tied appropriately.

Discomfort or rubbing

Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. Break in the shoes gradually by wearing them for short periods initially. If discomfort persists, check for any internal seams or material defects.

Laces wearing out

Replace laces with standard flat athletic laces of a similar length. Ensure they are threaded correctly to maintain proper fit and support.

Material scuffs or marks

For minor scuffs on leather, a leather cleaner or conditioner may help. For textile areas, use a soft brush and mild detergent. Test any cleaning solution on an inconspicuous area first.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

These trainers require no setup beyond wearing them. Their compatibility is broad, fitting well with a variety of casual outfits.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning the Upper: For the textile and leather parts, use a soft brush to remove loose dirt. For stains, use a damp cloth and mild soap, then wipe clean with a dry cloth. Avoid soaking the shoes.
  2. Leather Overlays: Condition leather parts periodically with a suitable leather conditioner to maintain their suppleness and prevent cracking.
  3. Midsole and Outsole: Clean the EVA midsole and rubber outsole with a damp cloth. Ensure any debris is removed from the outsole tread.
  4. Drying: Air dry the shoes away from direct heat or sunlight.
  5. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag or their original box, to protect them from dust and moisture.
