FAQs
What is the main difference between the original SL 72 and the SL 72 RS?
The SL 72 RS reimagines the original with a thicker midsole for enhanced cushioning and a reshaped upper for a more modern fit, while retaining the classic aesthetics.
Are these shoes suitable for running or intense sports?
These shoes are primarily designed for lifestyle and casual wear, offering comfort and style. While they can handle light activity, they may not provide the specialized support or cushioning required for high-impact sports or dedicated running.
How should I clean the leather and suede parts?
Use a damp cloth for the leather and a suede brush for the suede. Avoid soaking the shoes. Specialized leather and suede cleaners can be used sparingly for tougher stains.

The product information provided specifies a white colorway. Availability of other colors may vary.
What does 'RS' stand for in SL 72 RS?
While not explicitly stated in the product description, 'RS' often implies 'Re-Stitched' or a modern iteration ('Revision') of a classic model.
How do I ensure I get the right size?
Refer to the UK sizing guide provided by Adidas or the retailer. Measure your foot length and compare it to the chart to find your corresponding UK size.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Loosen the laces and re-tie them, ensuring they are not overtightened. If the issue persists, consider if the size is appropriate or if the shoes require a short break-in period.
Slight squeaking noise
This can sometimes occur with new footwear. Try wearing them for a short period to break them in. If the noise persists, check if any part of the sole is rubbing against itself or the upper.
Discoloration on leather or suede
Clean gently with a damp cloth for leather, or use a suede brush for suede. For persistent marks, use a product specifically designed for cleaning leather or suede, following the product instructions carefully.
