A 1970s runner gets a wild makeover : The adidas SL 72 OG “Cow Print” reinvigorates a vintage 1972 silhouette with a bold cowhide motif—offering an unexpected animal-print twist on a heritage Adidas runner.
Construction and design
This version swaps out the original nylon for a striking mix of leather and textured pony-hair material, featuring high-contrast black-and-white cow spots. The classic low-profile runner is accented with Court Green details—on laces and outsole—tracing back to the model’s track origins. The result blends sporting history with wild fashion-forward flair.
Comfort and performance
Underfoot, the retro EVA midsole delivers lightweight cushioning, while the grippy rubber outsole ensures consistent traction. The low-cut build and smooth lining make this pair ideal for everyday wear—bringing casual comfort with standout style.
Release
This cow-print standout drops globally on September 8, 2025, with a retail price around €110/ £90. It is dropped already as an inline release at independent adidas retailers.
