FAQs
What is the main inspiration behind the SL 72 RS Shoes?
The SL 72 RS Shoes are inspired by the original Adidas SL 72 model launched in 1972, reimagined with modern comfort features and a thicker midsole to fit contemporary trends like the 'terrace' style.
What materials are used in the construction of these shoes?
The shoes feature a leather upper with suede overlays, a leather sockliner, an EVA midsole for cushioning, and a rubber outsole for traction.
Are these shoes suitable for athletic performance?
While they offer good cushioning and traction for everyday activities, they are primarily designed for casual wear and lifestyle. They are not intended as high-performance athletic shoes.
How do I clean the suede parts of the shoes?
Use a specialized suede brush to clean the suede. For stains, a suede cleaner can be used sparingly, following the cleaner's instructions carefully.
What does 'RS' stand for in SL 72 RS?
While not explicitly stated in the product information, 'RS' often denotes a 'Re-Issue' or 'Remastered' version in footwear, indicating an updated take on a classic model.
How do I determine the right size?
It is recommended to refer to Adidas's sizing chart and, if possible, try the shoes on. These shoes have a regular fit but personal preference for tightness or looseness can vary.
Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?
The leather and suede materials are not inherently waterproof. While the rubber outsole provides some grip, it is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to protect the materials and maintain their appearance.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Loosen the laces and adjust the fit. Wearing thinner socks or allowing a break-in period might also help. If persistently uncomfortable, consider if the size is appropriate.
Suede material looks dull or dirty
Use a suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For stubborn marks, a dedicated suede cleaner can be applied following product instructions.
Leather shows scuffs
For minor scuffs on the leather, a slightly damp cloth can sometimes buff them out. For deeper scuffs, a leather conditioner or polish matching the shoe color may be necessary.
Traction feels reduced
Clean the rubber outsole with a damp cloth to remove any accumulated dirt or debris that might be hindering grip.
