First crafted over a half a century ago, the SL 72 silhouette was a bonafide hit during the running boom of the 70s. Now, decades on, adidas Originals celebrates the inimitable legacy of the groundbreaking sneaker that refuses to stop running strong, bringing to life two reimagined archival looks.
Setting the stage for a paradigm shift across the running category, the abbreviation “SL” was chosen to denote “Super Light” – a marker of the brand’s commitment to empowering athletes with greater speed and agility on the track. From the 70s to the present day, the silhouette has taken its place in culture and decades on the SL 72 continues to stand strong on the feet of originals everywhere.
Super light. Super colorful. Super comfortable.
