First introduced in — you guessed it — 1972, the adidas SL 72 shoes were originally part of the adidas super light range of running shoes. They quickly got noticed on the track for their sleek and minimalist design and material combination, something that still remains true today. They have a thick, comfortable EVA midsole with a soft compound that rides on a gripped ripple outsole. Suede overlays on the reshaped nylon upper and tonal details give an even more luxe spin to the OG aesthetic.
