FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for actual basketball games?

While inspired by basketball heritage, these are primarily designed as lifestyle sneakers for everyday wear. They offer good support but may not meet the specific performance demands of competitive basketball.

How do I determine my correct UK size?

Refer to the size chart provided by adidas or consult the specific sizing guide for this model. Generally, UK sizing is standard, but trying them on or checking reviews for fit can be helpful.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

The leather-like upper offers some resistance, but these are not waterproof. It's advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to preserve their material and appearance.

What is the primary material of the upper?

The upper is made from a glossy, leather-like synthetic material that mimics the look and feel of leather while offering durability.

How do I clean the white sole?

Use a damp cloth with mild soap or a specialized shoe cleaner for rubber soles. Gently scrub the sole and wipe clean.

What does 'UNC' stand for in the product name?

'UNC' typically refers to the University of North Carolina, often associated with specific colorways that include the university's signature blue and white.

Is the ankle strap removable?

No, the iconic ankle strap is a fixed design element of the Forum 84 High and is not removable.

Troubleshooting

Squeaking noise from shoes

This can sometimes occur with new leather-like materials. Try wearing them for a few more days or apply a small amount of talcum powder inside the shoe near the tongue.

Ankle strap feels too tight or loose

Adjust the hook-and-loop ankle strap to your preferred level of tightness for a secure fit. Ensure it's fastened evenly.

Discoloration on the upper

Clean gently with a damp cloth. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which can cause fading or discoloration.
