Andrew Rizzo The adidas SL 72 is poised to return to the spotlight in 2024. At least half a dozen colorways are set to release in late March, spurred on by an upcoming collaboration with Bob Marley’s estate and now yet another co-signed effort. British retailer Size? gets the call this time around, channeling its street-ready style on two exclusive colorways of the 1972-born “Super Light” shoe.
A classic red/white/blue mix takes to one pair, accurately reflecting the aesthetics of the 70s to produce a versatile, timeless look. Not to be confused for an inline colorway, the shoe distinguishes itself with subtle red stripe accents. Its counterpart adopts a more flamboyant approach, boasting an all-yellow base and pink adidas branding. Both shoes feature the same material construction, complete with breathable nylon at the base, suede paneling, and traditional herringbone outsoles. As with all upcoming SL 72 deliveries, these pairs adopt slightly larger, more modern cuts than the model’s original 1972 build.
The upcoming Size? x adidas SL 72 pack is set to arrive on March 1st exclusively at size.co.uk and various storefronts.
