FAQs
Are the adidas Forum 84 trainers suitable for playing basketball?
While inspired by basketball heritage and featuring an ankle strap for support, the Forum 84 is primarily designed as a lifestyle and casual wear shoe. For serious or competitive basketball, dedicated performance basketball shoes are recommended.
How do I best clean the white leather upper?
Use a soft, damp cloth for general cleaning. For stubborn marks, a specialized leather cleaner is advisable. Always test any cleaning product on a small, hidden area first.
What does 'Forum 84' refer to?
'Forum 84' refers to the year the original adidas Forum basketball shoe was released. The '84' designation signifies this heritage.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
The leather upper offers some resistance to light moisture, but these are not waterproof. It is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to prevent damage to the leather and materials.
How does the sizing run for these trainers?
Sizing for adidas trainers can vary slightly. It is recommended to consult the official adidas UK sizing chart and compare it with your usual shoe size for the most accurate fit.
What is the primary material of the shoe?
The primary material for the upper of the adidas Forum 84 'Off White Dark Green' trainers is premium leather.
Is the ankle strap adjustable?
Yes, the iconic ankle strap features a hook-and-loop fastener, allowing you to adjust it for a personalized and secure fit.
Troubleshooting
Leather appears stiff or creased
Leather can stiffen over time. Wear the shoes regularly to help them break in and soften. Using a leather conditioner can also help maintain suppleness.
Ankle strap feels too loose or too tight
Adjust the hook-and-loop fastener on the ankle strap to your preferred level of snugness. Ensure it is secure but not cutting off circulation.
Traction feels reduced on certain surfaces
Check the outsole for embedded debris like small stones or mud. Clean the tread pattern thoroughly with a brush. If the outsole is significantly worn down, consider replacement.
Sizing feels slightly off
Refer to the adidas sizing chart for UK sizing, as it can differ from other brands. If possible, try on a pair in-store or ensure the return policy allows for exchanges if the fit is not ideal.

Compatibility: The Forum 84 trainers are designed for adult wear and are suitable for most casual activities. They pair well with a variety of casual clothing styles.
Care: To maintain the appearance and longevity of your adidas Forum 84 trainers:
- Cleaning the Leather: Gently wipe the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a specialized leather cleaner, testing it on an inconspicuous area first.
