adidas rewinds to the summer of 1972, a pivotal moment when the groundbreaking SL 72 debuted, instigating a shift in the running shoe landscape with “SL” symbolising super light, for runners seeking speed on the track. Today, its story is being retold for a new generation through this rework. Modern tweaks include reshaped proportions based on a fresh last for the perfect fit and an updated iconic toe box with a contemporary design that remains instantly identifiable. The authentic nylon and suede uppers create a slightly collapsible aesthetic, while gold foil branding adds a ‘70s touch.
