Product Information

Full details

The adidas Forum Mid White Black is designed for adults seeking a blend of iconic 1980s basketball style and modern comfort. Its key benefit lies in its premium leather construction and classic design, offering both durability and timeless appeal. A potential caveat for some users might be its mid-top design, which offers ankle support but may feel restrictive for those preferring a low-cut shoe. This silhouette features a leather upper with perforations for breathability, a signature X-shaped collar overlay, and a secure hook-and-loop strap, all resting on a cushioned midsole and a high-traction rubber outsole.

FAQs

What is the primary material of the adidas Forum Mid White Black?

The upper is primarily constructed from premium leather, with synthetic elements for accents and the mudguard.

How do I clean the leather upper?

Wipe the leather with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a mild leather cleaner and a soft brush, then wipe clean. Always allow to air dry.

Is the hook-and-loop strap adjustable?

Yes, the hook-and-loop strap allows for additional adjustment to secure the fit over the laces.

What kind of outsole does this shoe have?

It features a durable black rubber outsole with circular treads designed for multidirectional traction.

Are these shoes suitable for athletic performance?

While inspired by a basketball silhouette, they are best suited for casual wear and light activity due to their design and materials. For high-performance basketball, specialized athletic shoes are recommended.

What does the 'Mid' in Forum Mid refer to?

'Mid' refers to the mid-top height of the shoe, which provides more ankle coverage and support than a low-top but less than a high-top.

When were these shoes originally released?

This specific colorway, the adidas Forum Mid White Black, was released on July 12, 2021.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable

Loosen the laces and adjust the hook-and-loop strap. Wear with appropriate socks. If the issue persists after breaking them in, they may be the wrong size.

Leather creasing excessively

Natural creasing will occur with wear. To minimize this, ensure proper fit and avoid over-tightening laces. Store shoes upright or with shoe trees.

Traction feels reduced on wet surfaces

Ensure the rubber outsole is clean and free from debris. While designed for traction, extreme wet conditions can reduce grip on any footwear. Avoid unnecessary risks.

White leather shows dirt easily

Regularly wipe down with a damp cloth. Use a specialized leather cleaner for stains. Consider applying a leather protectant spray for easier cleaning in the future.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These are ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure the laces are tied to your preferred comfort level and use the hook-and-loop strap for an additional secure fit.

Compatibility: Designed as a unisex adult footwear option, suitable for men and women. Best paired with casual wear like jeans, shorts, or athleisure outfits.

Care: To maintain the premium leather and classic look:

  1. Cleaning: Wipe down the leather surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a mild leather cleaner and a soft brush, testing on an inconspicuous area first.
  2. Drying: If the shoes get wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources. Stuffing them with paper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
  3. Protection: Consider using a leather protectant spray to guard against water and stains.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally in a shoe bag or the original box, to prevent dust and damage.
