The latest adidas SL72 RS is a tribute to reggae legend Bob Marley. This iconic collaboration blends athletic heritage with musical influence to create a sneaker that resonates with both athletes and music lovers.
Originally designed for road running in 1972, the adidas SL72 has become a cultural icon. Its lightweight construction revolutionized athletic footwear and quickly became a favorite of elite athletes seeking speed and agility on the track.
This special edition Bob Marley adidas SL72 RS features a predominantly black nylon upper with suede and leather accents. The design subtly incorporates Rastafarian colors, with a midsole featuring yellow, green and red tones. These colors, synonymous with Marley’s heritage, are applied in muted tones of burgundy, cream and pastel green for a sophisticated nod to the artist’s roots.

Attention to detail is evident throughout the sneaker. A black and white portrait of Marley adorns the tongue, while his signature is embossed in gold on the heel counter. The insole features retro branding that replaces the adidas name with Marley’s, further emphasizing the collaborative nature of this release.
The Bob Marley adidas SL72 RS celebrates the natural synergy between the cultural icon and the sportswear brand. Both share a passion for soccer, which is evident in adidas’ extensive catalog and photographs of Marley on the field.
The limited edition sneaker will launch on October 15th and will be available through adidas.com, the Confirmed app and select retailers.
