Adidas Originals SL 72 RS | Non-Slip Wear-Resistant Low-Top Casual Shoe (JR8772)

Adidas Originals SL 72 RS — Non-Slip Wear-Resistant Low-Top Casual Shoe

Speed from the archive. The Adidas Originals SL 72 RS is a direct descendant of the SL 72 — one of Adidas’ most celebrated running silhouettes, originally built for the 1972 Munich Olympics and worn by some of the fastest athletes of that era. The RS update brings the SL 72’s clean, speed-inspired lines into the present with refined materials and a non-slip, wear-resistant outsole built for the demands of daily life.

Design Story

The SL 72 was designed to be fast — lightweight, low-profile, and aerodynamically clean. Over five decades later, those same qualities make it one of the most wearable silhouettes in the Originals archive. The RS treatment honors the original’s proportions while updating the construction for modern wear: a shoe that looks like it was made yesterday and feels like it was made for today.

A shoe that earns its place in any rotation.
