Adidas Originals through adidas Philippines reintroduces a long-time favored staple, presenting the SL 72 on shelves over half a century since its conception. The legacy trainer supplemented the Three-Stripes’ rise in the 70s, fortifying the running movement through its (at the time) groundbreaking lightweight technologies (hence, its SL or “Super Light” tag)—a marker of the brand’s commitment to supplement speed, agility, and performance.
Previously constructed for track-and-field athletes, the adidas SL 72 presents a smooth leather upper, while the synthetic lining and EVA midsoles promote comfortability and lightweight cushioning. Its durable rubber outsole grips closely to the ground, keeping steadiness and style with stride.
The resurrected archival piece embodies adidas Originals’ philosophy of “classic sport-inspired options made for life.” And while its descendants populate the runner rotation in the present, its influence seeps into the streets, recognizable as a casual everyday option for OGs and newcomers alike.
This season highlights two distinct versions of the iconic SL series: the SL 72 RS in blue, white, and red, while the SL 72 OG W caters to females with its green, white, and yellow palettes.
Peruse adidas Philippines’ colorways of the adidas Orignals’ SL 72, as these pairs are now available online at adidas.com.ph and in-store at select retailers and distributors.
