FAQs

Are the adidas Forum 84 trainers suitable for playing basketball?

While inspired by the 80s basketball era, these trainers are best suited for casual wear and light recreational activities. They do not offer the specialized support and technology required for professional basketball play.

How do I clean the leather upper?

Clean the leather upper with a damp cloth and a mild soap. For tougher stains, use a specialized leather cleaner. Always allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from heat.

What is the main benefit of the ankle strap?

The adjustable ankle strap is a signature design element that provides enhanced support and allows for a more customized and secure fit around the ankle.

Can I wear these trainers with formal attire?

These trainers have a distinct retro and sporty aesthetic. They pair best with casual outfits like jeans, shorts, or casual trousers. While some fashion-forward individuals might incorporate them into smart-casual looks, they are not suitable for formal wear.

What does 'Off White Dark Green' refer to?

This refers to the colorway of the trainers. 'Off White' is the primary color of the shoe, complemented by 'Dark Green' accents, including the iconic 3 Stripes.

How should I store these trainers when not in use?

To maintain their shape and prevent creasing, it is recommended to store them using shoe trees and in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

Troubleshooting

Shoe feels too tight

Loosen the laces and adjust the ankle strap for a more comfortable fit. Ensure you have selected the correct size. If discomfort persists, consider wearing thinner socks.

Leather creasing

Creasing is natural with leather. To minimize it, ensure proper fit and use a shoe tree when storing. Avoid over-tightening laces.

Dirt or scuffs on the leather

Wipe clean with a damp cloth immediately. For tougher marks, use a designated leather cleaner and follow product instructions carefully. A leather protector can help prevent future marks.

Ankle strap is uncomfortable

Adjust the strap to find a secure but not overly tight position. If it consistently causes discomfort, it may be a matter of personal preference for this style of shoe.
