FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for basketball?
While the adidas Forum is inspired by 1980s basketball performance, it is intended for lifestyle and casual wear rather than intense sports activity.
How do I clean the blue accents?
Use a damp cloth with mild soap. Avoid soaking the shoe, as excess moisture can affect the leather finish.
Do these sneakers run true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard UK sizing. If you have wider feet, you may prefer to wear thinner socks or consider a half-size up.
What is the material of the upper?
The upper is constructed primarily of high-quality leather, providing durability and a classic look.
Can I replace the insoles?
The standard insoles are designed for comfort, but they can be removed if you need to insert custom orthotics.
Troubleshooting
Visible scuffs on white leather
Gently rub the area with a white eraser or a specialized leather cleaner applied to a soft microfiber cloth.
Creasing at the toe box
Use shoe trees when not wearing to help the leather maintain its shape and reduce deep-set wrinkles.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your adidas Forum trainers last, keep them away from harsh cleaning chemicals. Use a soft-bristled brush or a damp cloth to wipe down the leather upper after daily use. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized leather sneaker cleaner and air-dry them away from direct heat sources to prevent the material from cracking. Since these are standard UK sizing, ensure you verify your fit against standard athletic measurements before purchase to ensure the mid-top collar does not rub against your ankle.
