FAQs

What is the main inspiration behind the Forum 84 trainers?

The Forum 84 trainers are inspired by the iconic basketball shoes from the 1980s hardwood era, bringing back classic design elements and style.

Are these trainers suitable for playing basketball professionally?

While inspired by basketball, the Forum 84 is primarily designed as a lifestyle and casual wear shoe. It may not offer the advanced performance features required for professional play.

How do I know if I've chosen the correct size?

The trainers fit true to size for most. Ensure the heel is snug, there's enough room in the toe box, and the ankle strap provides a secure but comfortable fit without restricting circulation.

Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?

The leather upper offers some protection, but it is not waterproof. It is recommended to avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain and to clean and dry the shoes thoroughly afterwards.

What is the material of the Forum 84 trainers?

The trainers feature a premium leather upper, a leather lining, and a rubber outsole.

How should I clean the cream and green colorway?

Use a damp cloth and mild soap or a dedicated leather cleaner for the leather parts. Ensure to wipe off any excess moisture and allow to air dry. For the sole, a brush can be used.

Does the ankle strap offer adjustable support?

Yes, the ankle strap is adjustable via hook-and-loop fastening, allowing you to customize the fit and support around the ankle.

Troubleshooting

Squeaking noise from shoes

This can sometimes occur with new leather shoes. Try walking on different surfaces, or place a small powder insert inside the shoe to absorb moisture and reduce friction.

Leather creasing

Creasing is natural with leather. To minimize, ensure proper fit and consider using shoe trees when storing to help maintain shape.

Ankle strap feels too tight

Adjust the strap for a comfortable fit. If still too tight, ensure you have the correct shoe size, as a size too small can exacerbate pressure.

Traction feels insufficient on wet surfaces

The rubber outsole provides good grip, but traction can be reduced on very wet or slick surfaces. Exercise caution in such conditions.
