The SL 72 has seen itself on the feet of competitive runners and lifestyle enthusiasts alike - and this is by no mistake. In the summer of '72 the SL 72 was released and quickly became a symbol of adidas Originals' breakthrough in traction dynamics, by extending the boundaries of comfortability that retained performance in sport. Designed from premium burgundy nylon uppers with chocolate suede overlays for the current-day user, the 3-Stripes get leathered in cream along with the laces, while a serrated rubber outsole sits beneath a low-profile EVA midsole for race-day comfort. For the branding, adidas Originals insignias get treated in gold on the tongue and heel cap. | IE3425
