FAQs
What is the main difference between this shoe and the original adidas Forum?
The adidas Forum Powerphase Bad Bunny Benito ditches the traditional Forum ankle strap and incorporates design elements and paneling from the classic adidas Powerphase silhouette, offering a laceless design.
What materials are used in the construction of this shoe?
The upper is constructed using a combination of canvas and leather.
What does the 'Benito' text refer to?
'Benito' is a reference to Benito Ocasio, the artist known as Bad Bunny, who collaborated on this design.
How should I clean the yellowed sole?
The yellowed sole is a design choice. Clean gently with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage or alter the intended vintage appearance.
Is this shoe suitable for athletic performance?
This is primarily a lifestyle sneaker designed for fashion and casual wear, not for rigorous athletic activities. It offers comfort for everyday use but lacks the specialized support of performance athletic shoes.
What is the typical fit of these sneakers?
The fit is generally considered true to size for a comfortable, relaxed feel. However, individual fit can vary. It is recommended to consult size charts and reviews if possible.
Can I replace the laces on this shoe?
This model does not feature traditional laces; it has a laceless design.
Troubleshooting
Creasing on leather or canvas
Minor creasing is natural with wear. For excessive creasing, consider using shoe trees to maintain shape when not in use.
Discoloration of the sole
The yellowed sole is an intentional design feature. Avoid cleaning products that could further alter its appearance. Gentle wiping with a damp cloth is recommended.
Scuffs on the upper
For leather areas, use a matching color shoe polish or a leather repair crayon. For canvas, try spot cleaning with a mild detergent.
Squeaking sound when walking
This can sometimes occur with new shoes. Try applying a small amount of talcum powder or cornstarch under the insole or around the tongue area.
