The SL 72 RS pays homage to adidas running heritage with a throwback design rendered in brilliant color schemes you won't find anywhere else. Originally released in 1972 as a super-lightweight running shoe, this version combines mesh in the upper with supple suede overlays for structure and support. The wedge EVA midsole cushions your stride, while the toothy, textured outsole grips the ground so you can move with confidence. Wear these retro classics with almost anything to bring some vintage-inspired charm to your outfit. They look great with jeans and capris, and they even bring a sporty touch to business-casual chinos or slacks.
