adidas SL 72 RS “Semi Lucid Blue” JH5102

adidas keeps the retro energy alive with the SL 72 RS in “Semi Lucid Blue”—a colourway that nails the balance between heritage and everyday wearability. First introduced in the early ‘70s, the SL 72 made waves as a lightweight runner. This updated take holds onto that original feel while injecting a bit more colour and comfort for today’s rotation.

The upper comes dressed in a soft blue textile base, paired with smooth suede overlays around the toe, eyestays, and heel. A golden “SL 72” stamp sits on the lateral side, and adidas keeps it classic with serrated 3-Stripes in bright yellow leather. Matching yellow hits return on the heel tab, while the navy ripple outsole keeps the look grounded.

Underfoot, a sculpted EVA midsole offers lightweight cushioning for daily use. It’s flexible, comfortable, and built for movement—whether you’re walking the city or kicking back at the weekend. The ripple outsole ensures grip on a range of surfaces, giving a nod to the original track-inspired tooling.

The adidas SL 72 RS “Semi Lucid Blue” is a strong addition to the revived lineup. It’s bold, but not loud. Nostalgic, but fresh.
