Adidas SL 72 Better Scarlet — “Super Light” since 1972

The SL initials stand for “Super Light,” and the SL 72 was introduced for the 1972 Munich Olympic Games as a competition shoe: a featherweight trainer designed for the track. Its construction summed up the engineering of the era: a nylon upper, suede reinforcements in high-wear areas, and a serrated rubber outsole, all designed to reduce weight without sacrificing grip or support. Today it stands alongside the Samba, Gazelle, and Spezial as one of the brand’s great classics.

The SL 72 — nylon, suede, and track-inspired profile

The silhouette is low, narrow, and slightly elongated, with the pointed toe of 1970s runners and the Three Stripes cutting across the side. In this colorway, Better Scarlet red dominates the nylon upper, while suede reinforcements provide contrast at the toe and heel, with the light midsole balancing the overall look.

Materials and technology

  • Upper: Better Scarlet red nylon with suede reinforcements at the toe, sides, and heel; side Three Stripes
  • Interior: Lightweight textile lining and removable insole; narrow, classic-cut fit
  • Outsole: Lightweight low-profile midsole with a serrated rubber outsole for grip
