The adidas SL 72 was first designed for track athletes looking to shave seconds off their time. Today, its lightweight build and sleek profile make it ideal for city exploration. The retro nylon upper has soft suede accents. Underneath, an EVA midsole cushions every step and a ripple outsole keeps you grounded.

Kathy for my husband and they are super super cute. He loves them. He mainly wears Adidas clothes and sneakers so these were a great comfortable fit for him. They are super durable. They are great quality. The style is super cute. These sneakers costed $100 at the mall and it was a good purchase. I highly recommend these sneakers. He said that they are very comfortable. They are smooth on the inside. They are easy to walk in and the cushion on the inside of the souls are very comfortable as well.

The shoe is comfortable and the retro styling looks great, but the sizing is way off. I guess it's the "gender inclusive" sizing. I wear a 12.5 - 13 in most Adidas sneakers. My last pair of Adidas Gazelle were a size 13 and I had ample room at the end of the toe. These were clownishly big in a 13 with about 2 finger widths between the toe and the end of the shoe. I'm not sure a 12 would work for me either, because of width. Also, I was not particularly fond of the yellow color way. The suede material is a dull yellow, while the mesh material is very bright. I think this sneaker looks a lot better in the blue, black and gray color ways, because of the lesser variation in colors between materials, but that is a personal preference.

Colour is awesome. Vibrant and eye catching. Laces are black but yellow would look great too. Comfortable and quick despatch. I ordered these rather than the women’s green as these were a much nicer colour way. Ordered my usual size.Love the retro style .

I had to return these and order a half size smaller. For reference, I wear a WOMEN'S 7.5 US or a 38 EU. I always buy 7.5 in most shoes. If I am buying a shoe that doesn't offer half sizes, I almost always go for the 8 (almost never a 7), so I would say I am on the slightly bigger side of a 7.5. This product size chart put me in a unisex size 6.5 which wasn't right. The 6 fits well. I hope this helps.Also- I LOVE these shoes!!!! I bought the green/yellow/black color and I will order the blue ones too!
I bought these versions as I have several pairs of the SL 72 OG. These have a higher sole, which makes them really comfortable. The only thing I would mention is that if you’re prone to over pronation these might not be for you. I have this issue on my left foot and I’m currently trying to find an arch support for them, as they’re quite flat. Classic Adidas styling and they really stand out. I’d also size up by half, which I’ve found is often the case with Adidas Originals.
Purchased the black size 10 women's. The sizing is off. The details said Women's 10/ Men's 9. Usually a Women's 10 is a Men's 8.5! Had to return because the shoe is 1/2 size too large. Will return and order Women's 9.5/ Men's 8.5. Keeping my fingers crossed they fit when I receive them. Overall, the shoe is good quality and very lightweight. The black color is very vibrant. Can't wait to get my new size and hope they fit! I also ordered the green retro Adidas; which was a fit perfect. The size was a solid Women's 10. Come on Adidas, make sure your sizing is correct in the details.
Took me a long time to find those but model + colour are fit made in heaven for me. Very comfy, look great a bit different to Gaz and Sambas that you see a lot around (I've got some of those too). Colour is vibrant but goes with most of my wardrobe. Cant wait for a bit more sunshine to wear my SL 72 with my more vibrant outfit. Price on first consideration a bit of a rip-off given very little leather compared to other Adidas model and same price but really the price bears no relation to how much it cost to manufacture the item. One thing I would say is I wear my b&w sambas for work with a black jacket + fitted trousers suit but I dont think I'd wear those in same context or I'd need a very special suit. They are quite compact so may work but they just dont have that ... MoreTook me a long time to find those but model + colour are fit made in heaven for me.

I purchased these a few day ago and rec'd them 2 days later. Great shipping time.I am attending a Mother's Day event where the theme is yellow and green colors as well as guests asked to wear sneakers in tribute to one of the founders of the organization ( win, win, as the Adidas I chose are green with yellow stripes).I wear an 8 1/2 medium in women's shoes/sneakers, and I read that they run slightly large being a men's shoe.They are comfortable so far, only worn indoors as a try on/break in.Will update if any issues arise down the line.
Let’s talk about the box…well, it was a Nordstrom box not the Adidas box. As a sneaker head, I’m equally excited about the box as the sneaker inside. To say I was disappointed when they arrived in a plain Nordstrom box without warning might be an understatement. Shoes are great. Disappointed in communication.
Okay, I am a woman and constantly buy men’s shoes with sneakers because they are often the same but cheaper. A 5.5 in a men’s shoe is a women 7 sometimes 7.5. Glad I went with my gut. Size down and check conversion charts online. They are really cute and comfy. For reference I am a solid 7.5 in most shoes. The 5.5 men’s/ 6.5 women’s fit me perfectly and I got the blue. Love them.
