FAQs
What material is the adidas Forum 84 Low made of?
The adidas Forum 84 Low is constructed from 100% leather.
How should I clean these leather shoes?
Use a soft, damp cloth for general cleaning. For stains, a specialized leather cleaner can be applied sparingly, followed by air drying.
Are these shoes suitable for playing basketball?
While inspired by basketball shoes, the Forum 84 Low is primarily a lifestyle sneaker. For actual basketball games, specialized performance footwear is recommended.
How do I know if I have the right size?
The shoe should feel snug but not uncomfortably tight. There should be a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe. Try them on with the socks you typically wear.
What is the main advantage of the Brown/White colorway?
The off-white and brown color scheme is highly versatile, easily matching a wide range of casual outfits and offering a timeless aesthetic.
How long has this model been around?
The Forum 84 Low is a retro reissue of the original adidas Forum, which first debuted in 1984.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
While the leather offers some protection, it is not waterproof. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain. Using a leather protectant spray can improve water resistance.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Wear them with medium-thickness socks for a few hours around the house to allow the leather to stretch slightly. Using a shoe stretcher can also help.
Leather creasing excessively
Some creasing is natural with leather. Ensure proper fit and consider using shoe trees to maintain shape when not in use. Avoid overly bending the shoes.
Scuffs or marks on the leather
For minor scuffs, try a soft cloth and a mild leather cleaner. For deeper marks, consult a professional shoe repair service or use a color-matched leather balm.
Soles appear dirty
Clean the rubber soles with a damp cloth and mild soap. An old toothbrush can be used for scrubbing textured areas.
