Bob Marley x adidas SL 72 'One Love' Releasing 15th October

If the SL 72 has indeed dethroned the Sambas as the hottest adidas sneaker, the upcoming Bob Marley x adidas SL 72 "One Love" will certainly help maintain its status. Paying homage to the King of Reggae’s Rastafarian roots, this sneaker is set to launch on 15th October.

Bob Marley's influence goes far beyond his music, extending to themes of love, unity, and social justice. To celebrate his legacy, adidas is releasing a special edition of the SL runner, a sneaker which Marley himself was pictured wearing in an old photo from 1976. The upcoming "One Love" SL 72 is set to embody Marley's style and message, coming in a design as timeless as Marley himself.

Taking a closer look at this release, it is full of small details, one of the most poignant of which is is the black-and-white image of Marley showcased on the tongue, a tribute usually reserved for iconic adidas athlete models such as the Stan Smith and Jabbar basketball shoe. The upper is made of a combination of Black suede and leather for a stylish contrast, while you get Marley's Gold-scripted signature adorning the heel.

Looking inside the shoe, you will notice the insole features a co-branded graphic with "adidas" and "Bob Marley" repeating alongside each other. This is a detail adidas states is a mark of the forever respect between the brand and the music legend.

Although Marley is best known for his musical talent, he was also a trendsetter in fashion. His love for the Three Stripes extended far beyond the SL 72; he often donned adidas apparel, from the signature three-striped tracksuits that became streetwear staples to bold T-shirts that perfectly matched his effortless vibe. We hope this latest release is part of a long-standing collaboration, bringing Marley's iconic style to a new audience.

The Bob Marley x adidas SL 72 "One Love" was initially intended to release alongside the "Bob Marley: One Love" movie, however after delays it finally has a release date set for October 15th as confirmed by adidas themselves.
