First released in 1972, these adidas shoes stepped onto the global stage at the world's largest sporting event and revolutionized the industry as the first running shoe with a nylon upper. No longer about speed, the SL 72 OG sneakers still stay true to their design DNA with a super-lightweight silhouette. The upper is finished with leather 3-Stripes and heel tab, plus the iconic textured tongue. For even more comfort, the classic low-profile midsole now has EVA cushioning.
