FAQs
What is the main inspiration behind the SL 72 RS?
The SL 72 RS is inspired by the original Adidas SL 72, which was first released in 1972 as a super-lightweight running shoe. This version updates the classic design with new color schemes.
Are these shoes suitable for actual running?
While they are inspired by a running shoe, the SL 72 RS are primarily designed for casual wear and lifestyle purposes. They offer comfort for walking but may not provide the specific support or cushioning required for serious athletic training.
How should I clean the suede parts of the trainers?
For suede, it's best to use a dedicated suede brush or a dry toothbrush to clean off dirt. Avoid getting the suede wet, and for stains, consider a suede eraser.
What kind of outfits do these trainers pair well with?
These trainers are very versatile. They look great with jeans, shorts, capris, and even chinos for a sporty-casual look. They add a vintage-inspired charm to most casual outfits.
Is the sizing true to size?
Based on standard sizing, the trainers are designed for a regular fit. It is always recommended to check the specific size guide provided by Adidas for the most accurate fit.
What material is the upper made of?
The upper is a combination of breathable mesh textile with supple suede overlays for structure and support.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks dull or dirty
Use a suede brush to restore the nap. For stains, try a suede eraser or consult specific suede cleaning guides.
Mesh feels less breathable
Ensure the mesh is clean and free of debris. Gentle cleaning with a damp cloth can help maintain airflow.
Outsole grip seems reduced
Clean the outsole with a brush to remove any embedded dirt or debris that may be affecting traction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: These trainers are designed for casual wear and are compatible with a wide variety of casual and smart-casual outfits. They are suitable for adults and are intended for general use, not high-performance athletic activities.
Care:
- Cleaning the Mesh: Use a soft brush and mild soap with cool water to clean the mesh areas. Avoid harsh scrubbing.
- Cleaning the Suede: Use a dedicated suede brush or a clean, dry toothbrush to remove dirt and restore the nap. For tougher stains, a suede eraser can be used. Avoid water on suede areas if possible.
