FAQs
What makes these trainers unique?
These trainers are part of a special collaboration with adidas Originals and the Bob Marley estate, featuring design elements inspired by his personal style and love for football, including his etched signature.
Are these suitable for running?
While they have a rubber outsole designed for grip and were originally inspired by track and field shoes, they are primarily intended for casual wear and light activities. They are not designed for high-performance running.
How do I clean the suede parts?
Use a suede brush to remove dry dirt. For stains, use a specialized suede cleaner and follow the product instructions carefully. Avoid using water directly on the suede.
What is the material of the upper?
The upper is made of a combination of textile and suede, with leather accents for the 3-Stripes and heel details.
What does 'SL 72 RS' stand for?
'SL' typically stands for 'Super Light', and '72' refers to the year the original SL 72 model was released. 'RS' may denote a specific iteration or update to the original design.
How does the sizing compare to other adidas trainers?
Sizing can vary slightly between models. It is recommended to consult the adidas size guide for the SL 72 RS and compare your foot measurements. Some users find this model runs a bit narrower.
Is this a unisex model?
While listed for men, the style can be worn by anyone. However, the sizing is based on men's UK shoe sizes.
Troubleshooting
Sizing seems incorrect
Refer to the adidas sizing chart for accurate measurements. Consider trying them on in-store if possible, or consult reviews for fit feedback. These may run slightly narrow.
Suede material looks dirty or matted
Use a clean, dry suede brush to gently brush the affected areas. For stubborn marks, consider a specialized suede cleaner, following product instructions carefully.
Reduced grip on the outsole
Clean the rubber outsole with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove any accumulated dirt or debris that may be affecting traction.
Discomfort during wear
Ensure the laces are properly adjusted for a comfortable fit. The EVA cushioning may require a short break-in period.
