The SL 72 was first released in 1972 for the Summer event, and has a lightweight build with a breathable nylon upper, suede overlays, and leather accents that have a retro and vintage-inspired style. Didn't end up going with this color, too late to return. Price is firm because they are brand new... you likely have to buy these internationally b/c they are hard to find. Shipping from other countries is $$$.
