These Adidas Originals SL72 Sneakers Bring Your Feet Back to the Days

— March 17, 2011 — Fashion
The Adidas Originals SL72 series is the latest retro footwear collection to hit the market.

For those of you who lived in or remember the 70s, you may recall that these Adidas Originals SL72 sneakers were worn in the 1972 Munich Olympics. The low-top sneakers are made from nylon, with suede surrounding the lower end of the shoe. There will be four colors available for purchase, including bright fluorescent green, orange, blue and dark green.

With Nike's Air Pennys and Air Jordan 3s back on the market, it really is no surprise that Adidas is re-releasing some classics of its own. It'll be interesting to see what else Adidas has in its archives to compete against other sneaker brands. Check out the different colorways of these retro sneakers in the featured gallery.
