Product Information

Full details

The adidas SL 72 trainers are designed for individuals who appreciate a fusion of retro athletic heritage and contemporary street style. Originally introduced as a 1972 running shoe, this trainer offers excellent everyday comfort through an EVA midsole and reliable grip from its gum rubber outsole. While these trainers provide a timeless silhouette and premium suede detailing, they are primarily built for casual lifestyle wear rather than intensive long-distance running or high-impact athletic performance.

FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

While based on a 1972 running design, these are categorized as lifestyle trainers and are best suited for walking and casual daily wear rather than athletic sports.

How should I clean the suede material?

Use a suede-specific brush or eraser. Do not machine wash or soak the shoes, as this will damage the suede texture and the adhesive.

What is the primary material of the upper?

The trainers feature a premium suede upper, which provides both style and a soft, comfortable fit.

Do these shoes run true to size?

The SL 72 series generally follows standard sizing; however, feel free to check the size guide or compare with your other adidas footwear for the best fit.

What is the purpose of the gum rubber outsole?

The gum rubber outsole provides increased durability and reliable grip for various urban ground conditions.

Can I wear these in the rain?

It is recommended to avoid heavy rain, as water can damage the suede upper and lead to long-term wear issues.

Troubleshooting

Visible dirt on suede upper

Use a dry, soft-bristled brush to gently lift dirt away in the direction of the grain.

Loss of traction

Check the gum rubber outsole for debris or mud buildup and wipe clean with a damp cloth.

Creasing near the toe box

Use a shoe tree when not in use to help maintain the original silhouette of the trainer.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Versatile vintage design suitable for diverse casual outfits
  • Lightweight feel due to the EVA midsole construction
  • Strong traction provided by the durable gum rubber outsole
  • Authentic 1970s athletic inspiration

Cons

  • Suede material requires careful cleaning to maintain appearance
  • Not intended for high-performance or professional running
  • Multicolor design may be harder to match than solid-colored shoes

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Because these trainers come with a premium suede upper, proper care is essential to extend their lifespan. Avoid exposing the shoes to excessive moisture, as water can damage or stain the suede texture. To clean, use a soft-bristled brush specifically designed for suede to gently remove surface dirt or dust. For more stubborn marks, use a specialized suede eraser. Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading. Compatibility is best with casual clothing, such as denim, chinos, or athletic joggers.
