adidas SL 72 RS "Focus Olive" JR8769

First introduced in 1972 for athletes chasing speed, the adidas SL 72 quickly became a staple beyond the track. The new adidas SL 72 RS “Focus Olive” reintroduces the vintage silhouette with subtle updates, keeping its retro charm while making it ready for everyday wear.

This reissue features a durable canvas base paired with soft suede overlays across the toe, heel, and eyestays, delivering both texture and reinforcement. The colourway mixes Focus Olive with Off White and Golden Beige details, striking a balance between earthy tones and versatile neutrals. Signature 3-Stripes appear on the sidewalls, tying the design back to adidas’ sporting heritage.

Comfort comes from the lightweight textile lining and classic low-profile fit, keeping the shoe breathable and easy to wear all day. Underfoot, the authentic ripple rubber outsole makes a return, providing reliable grip and a direct nod to the original 1970s design. The lace closure secures the fit, while the slim build ensures a natural feel whether you’re walking city streets or relaxing off-duty.

With the SL 72 RS “Focus Olive,” adidas pays tribute to a silhouette that helped define an era. It blends old-school running DNA with materials suited for modern life, making it a timeless option for anyone who values heritage sneakers with everyday versatility.
