The adidas SL 72 Borrows Goku's Iconic Colors

The adidas SL 72 debuted over 50 years ago, but it continues to have footing in the sneaker landscape.

Having recently appeared in a 'Cow Print' style exclusive to ASOS, the silhouette once promoted by Bella Hadid has just emerged in new styles ready for releases in March. Amongst them is a 'Collegiate Orange/Bright Blue' color scheme that bears resemblance to the iconic look of Dragon Ball Z's Goku.

While not an official collaboration with Akira Toriyama's legendary series, the two-tone SL 72 would fit right in with adidas' multi-pair Dragon Ball Z collection from the 2010s. A mix of nylon and suede appears across the upper, opting for a punchy hit of orange. Profile 3-Stripes and Achilles' heel panels interrupt the citrusy-look with their 'Bright Blue' flair. Underfoot, the old school sole unit keeps things simple, allowing for the pair's top-half to resemble Kakarot's iconic look in peace.

Enjoy official photos of the 'Goku' SL 72 below. Pairs will release via adidas.com on Saturday, March 1, for a budget-friendly $100.
