— March 19, 2025 — Fashion
adidas Originals has launched a new iteration of the SL 72 RS with the Japan-exclsuive tonal palette of College Navy and White. It is now available to shop and the fresh update elevates the retro model first introduced in 1972. The model blends the classic hues which has a heritage aesthetic further elevated with a modern appeal.

The upper is made from a blend of suede and nylon materials. This gives it an elevated look and feel with a tinge of vintage touches. To continue adding to the elevated design, there are gold letterings which embellish the shoe and enhances the minimal sense of luxury. For the branding, the three stripes remain on the side.
