   The adidas SL 76 was released in 1976, the year of the Montreal Olympics. It was constructed from breathable nylon and velour, and the number of Ghillys differed depending on the country of production.                        
   The SL 76 was often mistaken for
the adidas Dragon training shoe,  which did look very similar but was produced in different colourways.
   The SL 76 made its TV debut in the cult cop show Starsky and Hutch and was reissued in 2004 in the colourway worn by detective Dave Starsky.
