FAQs

How do I determine the right size?

The adidas SL 72 OG generally fits true to size. It's recommended to choose your standard UK shoe size. If you're unsure, measure your foot length and compare it to adidas's official size chart.

Are these sneakers suitable for running?

While inspired by vintage running shoes, the SL 72 OG Leather Sneakers are designed for casual wear and comfort, not performance running. For athletic activities, consider dedicated running shoes.

Can I wash them in a washing machine?

No, machine washing is not recommended, especially for leather and suede materials. It can damage the materials, adhesives, and overall structure of the shoe. Follow the specific cleaning instructions for leather and suede.

What is the EVA Midsole?

EVA stands for Ethylene-vinyl acetate. It's a soft, flexible, and lightweight foam material commonly used in shoe midsoles to provide cushioning and shock absorption for comfort.

How often should I clean the shoes?

Regular, light cleaning after each wear can prevent dirt buildup. Deep cleaning should be done as needed, depending on how frequently they are worn and the conditions they are exposed to.

Troubleshooting

Scuffs or marks on leather

Gently clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. For deeper scuffs, a specialized leather cleaner or conditioner may be required.

Suede looks matted or dirty

Use a suede brush to restore the nap and remove surface dirt. A suede eraser can help with stubborn marks.

Unpleasant odor inside shoes

Remove insoles and air out. Use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside and let sit overnight, then shake out.

Sole losing grip

Ensure the rubber sole is clean. Mud or dirt buildup can reduce traction. Use a stiff brush to clean grooves.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Timeless Style: Classic retro design that remains fashionable for various occasions.
  • Everyday Comfort: Lightweight EVA midsole provides cushioning for daily activities and prolonged wear.
  • Premium Materials: High-quality leather and soft suede enhance both durability and the sneaker's aesthetic appeal.
  • Versatile Aesthetic: Easily pairs with a wide range of casual and smart-casual outfits, offering styling flexibility.

Cons

  • Specific Care Required: Leather and suede demand careful, specialized cleaning to maintain their condition and appearance over time.
  • White Color Maintenance: The white leather may show dirt, scuffs, and signs of wear more readily, requiring frequent cleaning.
  • Not for Performance Sports: Primarily designed for casual wear and comfort, these sneakers are not engineered for high-intensity athletic activities.

Setup

Simply lace up the sneakers to your preferred tightness. No complex setup or breaking-in period is typically required, though leather will conform to your foot over time.

Compatibility

These sneakers are highly versatile and complement a wide range of casual and smart-casual attire. They pair exceptionally well with:

  • Jeans (skinny, straight, relaxed fit)
  • Chinos and cargo pants
  • Shorts
  • Casual skirts and dresses
  • Tracksuits and sportswear for a coordinated retro look

Their classic, clean design makes them a staple for those who appreciate understated style and retro fashion.

Care

To ensure the longevity and appearance of your premium leather and suede sneakers, follow these care steps:

  1. Immediate Cleaning: After each wear, especially for the white areas, gently wipe the leather surfaces with a damp, soft cloth to remove surface dirt and dust.
  2. Suede Maintenance: For suede sections, use a soft-bristled suede brush to restore the nap and dislodge dry dirt. A specialized suede eraser can help remove stubborn scuffs and marks.
  3. Deep Cleaning (Leather): For more persistent dirt on leather, use a dedicated leather cleaner sparingly, applying it with a soft cloth. Wipe off any excess and allow the shoes to air dry naturally.
  4. Deep Cleaning (Suede): If deeper cleaning is necessary for suede, use a suede-specific cleaner following the product's instructions. Avoid saturating the suede with water.
  5. Protection: Consider applying a water and stain repellent spray specifically designed for leather and suede. This creates a protective barrier against spills and moisture.
  6. Drying: Always air dry your sneakers away from direct sunlight or artificial heat sources (like radiators or hair dryers), as these can damage the materials.
  7. Storage: Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees can help maintain their original shape and absorb moisture, preventing creases.
