Featuring glitter, pearls, and patent leather, this upcoming adidas SL 72 is certainly a statement pair. As the German sportswear giant has recently evidenced, pushing the boundaries with classic models is a game plan that bears fruit, and the latest women's exclusives to surface are most decidedly mixing it up. With Superstars receiving beaded makeovers and Sambas adorned in leopard print, The Brand With The Three Stripes is doing things differently.
Core Black patent leather combines glitter-flecked synthetics to form the sleek low-cut upper on this adidas SL 72. The lace set, unusual for the model, is secreted underneath the patent leather eyestay, which features a smooth construction minus one solitary silver metallic eyelet at the top. At the midfoot, the glitter-speckled panel is contrasted by Three Stripes branding, which utilizes the core black patent leather.
