I've worn Adidas since I was a teenager - first pair I owned were the white with blue stripes ROM, created for the Olympics in Rome in 1960. I was 1! I threw the javelin for my school and Adidas Rom served me until the leather was so cracked I had to throw them away. Luckily Adidas bought them back for my 60th! The SL 72 OG shoes are comfortable, stylish, lightweight and I can wear them with anything. I have 2 pairs...the temptation for more is strong. No longer able to wear heels, I will be wearing Adidas forever, everywhere I go.
