1 Low stock About the SL 72
The SL 72 is the retro runner lane of the terrace wave — a 1972 Olympic training shoe that returned as the next rotation once Samba and Gazelle saturated. Boutique allocations are smaller than the Samba's, which makes stockist information genuinely scarce.
We're tracking 1 SL 72 release, 1 currently live or in limited stock. The newest is the adidas SL 72 "Core Black / Yellow / Red (Bob Marley)" (February 13, 2026).
