FAQs

Are the Adidas SL 72 Trainers suitable for running?

The SL 72 Trainers are designed primarily for lifestyle and casual wear. While comfortable for walking, they do not offer the specialized cushioning and support required for intense running activities.

What material is the upper made of?

The upper is made of a luxurious coated leather, providing a premium look and feel.

How should I clean the white leather?

Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt. For tougher marks, a mild soap solution can be used sparingly, followed by a thorough rinse with a clean damp cloth and air drying.

Are these trainers unisex?

This specific listing is for men's sizing (UK 10). While the style is classic, sizing and fit are tailored for men's feet. Other variants might be available.

What is the main inspiration behind the SL 72 design?

The SL 72 design is inspired by iconic 80s basketball shoes and their adoption in street culture and hip-hop fashion.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

While the coated leather offers some protection, these trainers are not waterproof. It's advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to maintain their condition.

Troubleshooting

Sizing feels incorrect

Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. If the issue persists, consider trying a half-size up or down, or consult the Adidas sizing chart for accurate measurements.

Creasing on the leather upper

Some creasing is natural with leather. To minimize it, avoid over-tightening laces and use shoe trees when not in use. Minor creases can often be smoothed out with gentle conditioning.

Discoloration on white material

Wipe immediately with a damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a mild soap solution on a soft cloth, test on an inconspicuous area first, and rinse thoroughly before air drying.

Compatibility: These trainers are compatible with a wide range of casual outfits for men. They pair well with jeans, chinos, shorts, and athletic wear.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning: For the coated leather upper, use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt and smudges. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  2. Drying: If the shoes get wet, stuff them with paper to absorb moisture and allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag or the original box, to protect them from dust and maintain their shape.
  4. Leather Care: Consider using a leather conditioner periodically to keep the coated leather supple and prevent cracking, especially after cleaning.
