With all the talk of Nike and Jordan Brand’s plan to celebrate next summer’s London Olympics and the 20 years since the Dream Team rocked the world back in Barcelona, don’t forget that adidas has been supplying international athletes for decades too.

The SL 72 was built in the spirit of greatness, and that’s thoroughly reflected here in a luxurious black leather upper that’s about evenly split between smooth and tumbled textures.
