FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
The SL 72 OG generally fits true to size, but since they have a narrower, retro-style silhouette, those with wider feet may prefer to size up by half.
Can I use these for running?
While originally designed as track shoes in the '70s, modern technology has far surpassed them for running. They are recommended for lifestyle use only.
How do I prevent the silver leather from scratching?
Avoid walking through rough brush or over sharp gravel. Regularly applying a leather protectant can create a light barrier against minor abrasions.
Are these suitable for wet weather?
The leather upper provides basic protection, but it is not waterproof. It is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain to protect the integrity of the material.
What is the best way to lace them?
Standard parallel lacing works best to keep the narrow silhouette clean and professional.
Troubleshooting
Leather surface appearing dull
Use a specialized leather cream or conditioner to restore the natural sheen of the upper.
Creasing at the toe box
This is natural for leather trainers; use shoe trees when not in use to help maintain the original shape.
Difficulty cleaning white soles
Use a soft-bristled brush and a mild soapy solution to gently scrub the rubber outsole, ensuring you avoid getting the leather upper wet.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your adidas SL 72 OG trainers remain in optimal condition, treat the leather before initial wear with a water-repellent spray. Compatibility is broad due to the silver finish, which functions as a neutral tone; they look great with both monochromatic and vibrant outfits. For care, avoid submerging them in water. Instead, wipe the surface with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust. If the leather becomes scuffed, use a matching leather conditioner to restore the finish and maintain the integrity of the material.
