FAQs

What inspired the adidas x Bob Marley collection?

The collection is inspired by Bob Marley's archival outfits, his immense musical legacy, and his personal love for football.

Are these trainers suitable for running?

While inspired by track and field designs, these trainers are best suited for casual wear and light activities. For dedicated running, consider specialized running shoes.

How do I clean the suede parts of the trainers?

Use a specialized suede brush to remove dry dirt and a suede eraser for stains. For tougher marks, a slightly damp cloth can be used, but avoid saturating the material.

What does 'SL 72 RS' stand for?

'SL' typically refers to 'Super Light' in adidas naming conventions, indicating a lightweight design. '72' often denotes the year of the original release or inspiration. 'RS' might indicate a specific update or variation in the series.

Is Bob Marley's signature authentic?

The signature etched on the heel is a design element inspired by Bob Marley's actual signature, included as part of the tribute collection.

Can I machine wash these trainers?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, structure, and adhesives of the trainers.

What is the primary material of the upper?

The upper is constructed from a jovial textile with tonal suede overlays on the toe box.

Troubleshooting

Sizing seems incorrect

Refer to the adidas sizing chart. Due to the nature of trainers, fit can vary slightly. Consider trying them on in-store if possible.

Color transfer from suede

New suede can sometimes transfer color. This is normal and will diminish with wear. Protect light-colored clothing until the transfer stops.

Creasing on the toe box

Some creasing is natural with wear, especially on leather and textile uppers. To minimize, use shoe trees when not in use and avoid over-tightening laces.

Outsole wear

While designed for durability, heavy use can lead to outsole wear. Rotate footwear if used frequently for athletic activities.
