Description
The adidas SL 72 OG Leopard Print, launched in January 2025, is a daring fusion of archival sport heritage and modern street statement. The sneaker features a nylon upper in allover leopard print, accented by off-white adidas stripes and semi impact orange touches across the tongue, eyelets and outsole for a bold pop of colour. Black suede overlays and a slightly elevated sole echo the original SL 72’s lightweight profile, designed for running during the 1972 Olympics.
This reissue preserves the icon’s retro silhouette and comfort, ensuring versatility for vintage-inspired looks with a distinctly contemporary edge. Key details—such as the textured midsole for extra grip and plush internal cushioning—guarantee daily wearability and authenticity. Metallic logo treatments and curated stitching assert its status in the sneaker canon.
Distinctively curated for those seeking a preserved artifact with transcendent elegance and wild energy, the SL 72 OG Leopard Print is perfect for sneaker enthusiasts who appreciate classic performance and bold, new-wave flair.
Care and Maintenance
To ensure the longevity of your sneakers, we recommend a considered approach to their care. Regular maintenance is key to preserving their aesthetic integrity and material quality.
- General Care: For leather and synthetic uppers, gently wipe away dirt with a soft, damp cloth and a mild cleaning solution. Laces can be hand-washed separately. Allow the sneakers to air-dry naturally, away from direct heat or sunlight, to maintain the structure and quality of the materials.
- Suede & Nubuck: These delicate materials require specific attention. Use a dedicated suede brush to gently remove surface dirt, always brushing in the same direction. For stubborn marks, a specialist suede eraser is recommended. Avoid water, as it can stain and alter the texture. To protect against the elements, a light application of a waterproofing spray designed for suede can be beneficial.
