First Look at the Bob Marley x adidas SL 72 “One Love”
This year, on what would’ve been his 79th birthday, adidas is paying tribute to a true cultural icon with the Bob Marley x adidas SL 72 “One Love.” A nod to the Jamaican singer’s long-lasting legacy, this sneaker combines his influence on music, fashion, and social justice into a standout design that reggae fans will definitely be able to appreciate.
Inspired by a 1976 photograph of Marley wearing the original SL runner, this shoe works on top of a versatile nylon base and is overlaid by black suede throughout. Leather Three Stripe branding graces the lateral and medial sidewalls, and this premium material can also be found on the lacing system and the heel badge.
The “No Woman, No Cry” artist’s signature is scrawled across the back in gold, and underfoot, the foam midsole is dipped in Jamaican flag-inspired colour palette. This limited edition SL 72 is then finished off with a striking black-and-white portrait of Marley on the tongue, a tribute that’s usually reserved for iconic adidas athletes.
Originally intended to coincide with the release of the Bob Marley: One Love biopic, the Bob Marley x adidas SL 72 “One Love” faced delays but is now set for a release on October 15th. Let us know if you will be adding this to your collection, and be sure to keep it locked at Captain Creps for your best chance to secure your size!
