The adidas SL Loop Runner was introduced to the market in 2014 and was inspired by the adidas SL 72, which was originally created as a specialized shoe for runners to wear in between races. This particular version, known as the 'Red Croc' colorway, was released in 2015 and showcases faux crocodile skin overlays on various parts of the shoe such as the mudguard, heel, iconic T-toe, and serrated Three-Stripes that extend up to the eyestay. Additionally, it boasts metallic boot-like upper eyelets and gold branding on the tongue, side panel, and heel. The shoe is completed with a sculpted concave midsole that provides a unique and eye-catching aesthetic.
