FAQs

Are these suitable for running or sports?

The adidas Forum 84 High 'UNC' is primarily designed for casual wear and everyday comfort. While inspired by basketball, they are not intended for high-impact sports or performance running.

How do I determine my correct size?

Refer to the adidas sizing chart or measure your foot length from heel to toe. It is recommended to try them on if possible, as fit can vary slightly between individuals.

Can I machine wash these sneakers?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, construction, and finish of the shoe.

What is the material of the upper?

The upper is made from a glossy leather-like material.

Is the ankle strap adjustable?

Yes, the iconic ankle strap features a hook-and-loop closure, allowing for adjustable support and fit.

How durable is the outsole?

The rubber outsole is designed for durability and provides reliable traction for everyday use.

What does 'UNC' stand for?

'UNC' typically refers to the University of North Carolina, often associated with their team colors, which this particular colorway evokes.

Troubleshooting

Scuffs on the glossy upper

Gently buff the scuff mark with a soft, dry cloth. For deeper marks, use a specialized leather cleaner suitable for glossy finishes, following product instructions carefully.

Discomfort around the ankle

Ensure the laces are properly tied and the ankle strap is adjusted for a snug but not overly tight fit. Wear with appropriate socks. The inner lining may take a few wears to mold to your foot.

Creasing on the toe box

Creasing is a natural part of leather footwear. To minimize its appearance, use shoe trees when not in use and avoid bending the shoe excessively during wear.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Compatibility: These sneakers are designed for adult wear and are compatible with a wide range of casual clothing styles.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt and smudges from the glossy leather-like upper. For tougher marks, a mild soap solution can be used sparingly, followed by wiping with a clean, damp cloth.
  2. Lining Care: Allow the inner lining to air dry naturally if it becomes damp. Avoid direct heat sources.
  3. Sole Maintenance: Clean the rubber outsole with a brush or damp cloth to remove debris. Ensure the sole is dry before storing.
  4. Storage: Store the shoes in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, to prevent material degradation and color fading. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
