A reimagined icon with the adidas SL 72 RS
Contemporary and ready to deliver on style, the adidas SL 72 RS is a fresh take on the legendary Classic iteration, originally launched as a running trainer back in the seventies. With the SL standing for ‘super-light’, these easy-to-wear sneakers have moved away from training to take their place in fashion circles, representing retro-loving fans of vintage charm coupled with an on-trend silhouette and unique colourways. The SL 72 RD has a thicker insole than the original, enhancing bounce for a confident urban step. A great look when worn with adidas tracksuits, the head-to-toe branding delivers an energised, always-on look that is worn by European celebs and influencers alike, as well as fashion-forward folk on the move.
The SL 72 RS by adidas for robust retro footwear
While paying homage to its roots, the enhanced SL 72 RS by adidas is a relatively faithful reproduction. Updates to the classic 72 OG were done with respect, ensuring that the original suede and nylon uppers remain part of the DNA. Outsoles are slightly chunkier, offering a superior grip without changing silhouette. A great shoe to pair with cargos, jeans or long shorts for a casual look, you can also mix with smarter cuffed trousers and shirts from the men’s clothing sale to create a head-to-toe considered look for work, casual hangs and events to signature authentic stamp on.
Unisex offerings of the SL 72 for fun, whimsical ladies’ looks
The SL 72 RS is a great shoe for ladies’ outfits too. Whether you want something slick for light activity or simply a streetwear get-up, these sneakers bring a variety of colour palettes, ranging from retro browns and oranges to pretty pastels and pops of primary. Match with A-lines, tulle skirts or pretty mini-dresses for a flirty, feminine look, or pair a black and white pair with a two-piece suit for work and add an edge to more professional looks. A versatile casual shoe, these super light sneakers will bring a breezy, confident step to your day.
