Adidas Wmns Sl72 OG 'sand Strata Preloved Brown'

Part of the SL72 line. This release has a suede upper in Sand Strata/Preloved Brown/Cream White. The SL 72 carries a year in its name, and it is a loaded one for adidas: 1972 is when the Trefoil arrived for the Munich Olympics and became the mark that still identifies Originals. This is a running shoe from that era of the brand, when adidas was making light trainers for road miles rather than statement pieces. The women's OG cut keeps the slim wedge profile and the tapered toe rather than modernising them. Sand Strata with Preloved Brown pushes it into a full tonal register, warm mid brown over a pale sand ground, the kind of palette that reads vintage without any artificial ageing painted onto the midsole. It looks like a pair somebody has already loved.
