Product Information
Full details
The adidas Forum 84 Low Candy Cane is a modern take on a 1984 basketball classic, designed for adults seeking a blend of nostalgic style and contemporary comfort. Its key benefit lies in its versatile design, suitable for casual wear and light athletic activities. A potential caveat is that the premium materials may require specific care to maintain their appearance. This shoe features a low-top silhouette constructed from leather, suede, and synthetic overlays, a monochromatic white color scheme with cream accents, and distinctive red detailing on the 3-Stripes, collar lining, and outsole. A signature midfoot strap adds both a retro feel and functional adjustability.

What is the recommended way to store these shoes?

Troubleshooting
Suede appearing matted or dirty
Gently brush the suede with a dedicated suede brush in one direction to restore its nap. For tougher stains, use a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner.
Leather creasing excessively
This is natural with leather. To minimize creasing, ensure a proper fit and consider using shoe trees when not in use to help maintain shape.
Red color transfer onto white areas
Avoid prolonged contact with moisture, especially if the red dye is new or has not been exposed to elements. If transfer occurs, clean the affected white area gently with a mild soap and water solution.
