How do I clean the suede parts of the trainers?
For suede, use a specialized suede brush to remove dry dirt and restore its texture. For stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner, testing it on an inconspicuous area first and following the product's instructions.

What does 'RS' in SL 72 RS stand for?
The 'RS' typically denotes a modernized or revised version of the original model, often implying updated features for comfort and fit, as seen with the thicker midsole and reshaped upper in this iteration.
How do I find the right size?
Refer to the sizing chart provided by Adidas or the retailer. The product details list UK sizing; ensure you convert correctly if you use US or EU sizing.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable
Allow for a break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time. Consider using thicker socks during the break-in phase if needed.
Suede appears scuffed or dirty
Use a suede brush to gently remove dry dirt and restore the nap. For tougher stains, consult a specialist suede cleaner and follow instructions carefully.
Traction feels reduced
Ensure the rubber outsole is clean and free of debris. If the tread is significantly worn down, consider replacement.
