Is the Adidas SL 72 good for running?

No. It is a lifestyle shoe based on a 1970s trainer, with a thin rubber sole and no modern cushioning or stability. Use it for walking and casual wear, not running.

How does the SL 72 fit?

It runs narrow and close to true to length. Most shoppers with average or wide feet should go half a size up; narrow feet can take their usual size.

Is the SL 72 the same as the SL 72 RS?

No. The RS version has a slightly different upper build and sole. The standard SL 72 here is the closer retro reissue with a suede and fabric upper.

How do I clean suede SL 72s?

Brush dry dirt off with a soft suede brush and use a suede eraser on scuffs. Avoid soaking them; spot clean with a damp cloth and let them air dry away from heat.

One pair of sneakers with the factory laces. No extra laces, bag or cleaning kit are included.

When is the SL 72 cheapest?

Prices drop most during seasonal sales and end-of-season clearances, and on older colorways. Track the price history before buying a full-price pair.

Our take on the Adidas SL 72 Suede Sneakers

The Adidas SL 72 is a low-profile retro runner revived from the 1972 original, here in a suede and fabric upper on a rubber sole. It stands out for its slim silhouette, T-toe overlay and the mix of suede panels with mesh and nylon. It is a lifestyle shoe first, not a modern cushioned trainer. It holds a 4.7 out of 5 rating from about 19,000 ratings, so it is widely owned and well liked.
