Is the SL72 comfortable for all-day wear?

The SL 72 has a thin EVA midsole and little arch support, so it suits short walks and casual days better than long standing or running. Many people size up or add an insole.

How does it fit compared with other adidas sneakers?

The SL 72 runs slim and slightly narrow, similar to other retro adidas runners. Shoppers with wide feet often go up half a size.

What makes this different from a standard SL72?

This edition adds the red, green and yellow palette, geometric base, sun-like radial graphics and the "Football is Religion" tongue tag. The silhouette and sole are the standard SL 72.

Is this shoe meant for playing football?

No. Despite the tongue tag, it is a lifestyle sneaker with a flat EVA sole and no studs or traction for the pitch.

You get the pair of sneakers with the collaboration tongue tag and patterned upper. Extra laces and special packaging are not confirmed.

How should I care for the suede and nylon upper?

Brush suede dry and spot-clean nylon with mild soap and water. Avoid machine washing, which can damage the suede and printed graphics.

Our take on the adidas x Bob Marley SL72 'Football Is Freedom'

The adidas x Bob Marley SL72 is a collaboration sneaker that wraps the classic 1970s SL 72 trainer in a red, green and yellow Rastafarian palette over a geometric patterned base, with sun-like radial graphics and a "Football is Religion" tongue tag. It is a lifestyle shoe built on the SL 72's slim nylon-and-suede upper and low-profile EVA midsole, so it wears light and flat rather than cushioned. It suits Marley fans, collectors of adidas collaborations and anyone wanting a colorful retro runner. Against a standard SL 72 it is a louder, more collectible take; against modern cushioned runners it trades comfort for heritage styling.
