Lifestyle sneakers inspired by archival racing shoes.
The SL 72 shoes were first introduced by adidas in 1972 as part of the SL (Super Light) range of running shoes. The SL 72 was designed as a lightweight racing shoe, and this modern version honors that sporting heritage. They feature a lightweight nylon upper with soft suede overlays and a low-profile rubber outsole. The distinctive, retro-style SL 72 logo on the side is a nod to the original.
This is a good looking shoe. I wanted an all black one but this was the closest I could get (I got the black with dark grey accents).
I average to a women's size 6.5 and since most reviews said these run *very* big, I ordered a women's size 5 and glad I did. They are a teensy bit snug in length, but I think a 5.5 would have been too big. My foot is average width and these seem a bit wide, but nothing I can't work with.

Runs at least a half size too big.
Cloud White / Core Black / Grey One
The size is completely off for women. It's at least half a size too big and possibly a full size. I can no longer exchange them for the correct size because it's past 30 days. That's what I get for being proactive and buying a birthday gift early.
