FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for running?

The adidas SL 72 RS trainers are designed for casual wear and everyday comfort, not for specialized running or athletic performance. They lack the specific support and cushioning required for intense running.

What is the primary material of these trainers?

The exact materials can vary slightly, but the SL 72 RS typically features a combination of textile and synthetic overlays, providing a balance of breathability and durability.

How do I clean the Brown Putty Grey colourway without causing damage?

Use a soft brush for dry dirt. For stains, use a damp cloth with a small amount of mild soap and water. Always test any cleaning solution on an inconspicuous area first and allow the shoes to air dry naturally.

What other colours are available for the SL 72 RS series?

The SL 72 RS series is available in various colourways, including options with Yellow accents, depending on the specific release and retailer.

What is the main difference between SL 72 and SL 72 RS models?

The 'RS' designation often indicates a 'Restored' or 'Reissue' version, typically meaning it's a modern interpretation of an original classic with updated materials or slight design tweaks for contemporary wear, while retaining the core retro aesthetic.

Can these trainers be worn in wet weather?

While they offer some protection, they are not waterproof. For heavy rain, it is advisable to wear more weather-resistant footwear.

Troubleshooting

Sizing feels slightly off

Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. If the issue persists, consider the fit of similar adidas trainers or consult a size guide for the SL 72 model.

Discoloration on the upper material

Wipe gently with a damp cloth and mild soap. For stubborn marks, consult specialized shoe cleaning guides for the specific materials (e.g., suede, leather).

Laces wear out quickly

Replace laces with a durable alternative. Consider wax-coated laces for increased longevity.
