Product Information
Full details
The adidas Originals SL72 CORDURA Trainers in Black and Charcoal are designed for adults seeking rugged, retro-inspired footwear for everyday durability. Their key benefit lies in the tough Cordura® fabric upper combined with a comfortable EVA midsole and grippy rubber outsole, offering a versatile choice for casual wear, athleisure, or adding a vintage track aesthetic to modern outfits. A potential caveat is that while durable, the specific materials may require appropriate care to maintain their condition over time.

FAQs
What makes the Cordura® upper durable?
Cordura® fabric is known for its exceptional resistance to abrasions, tears, and scuffs, making it highly durable for everyday wear and tear.
Are these trainers suitable for running?
The SL72 CORDURA Trainers are designed for casual wear and light activities. They offer comfort for walking and everyday use but are not optimized for high-impact running or athletic performance.
How do I ensure the right fit?
Refer to the size guide and consider your typical shoe size. The low-profile silhouette and EVA midsole aim for a comfortable, snug fit suitable for adult feet.
Can these trainers be worn in wet conditions?
While the Cordura® upper offers some protection, the mesh details provide breathability and are not waterproof. They are best suited for dry or lightly damp conditions.
What is the style inspiration for the SL72?
The design is inspired by the heritage of the original 1972 SL runner, bringing a classic, retro athletic aesthetic to modern footwear.
How should I care for the EVA midsole?
The EVA midsole can be cleaned with a damp cloth. Avoid prolonged exposure to extreme heat, which can degrade the material.
Troubleshooting
Laces come undone frequently.
Ensure laces are tied securely using a double knot if necessary. Consider replacing laces with a material that offers better friction.
Discomfort after extended wear.
Verify that the size is correct and that laces are not tied too tightly. Break in the shoes gradually by wearing them for shorter periods initially.
Dirt on Cordura® fabric is difficult to remove.
Use a slightly damp cloth with a small amount of mild soap. Gently scrub the affected area, then wipe clean with a fresh damp cloth. Allow to air dry.
Outsole grip seems reduced.
Clean the rubber outsole thoroughly to remove any embedded dirt or debris that may be affecting traction.
