Product Information
Full details
The adidas Forum Mid Trainers in White and Black are designed for adults seeking a stylish, retro basketball-inspired sneaker. Their primary benefit is offering a blend of iconic 1980s design with premium materials for everyday wear. A potential caveat is that while they offer traction, they are not specialized performance athletic shoes. This iconic mid-top silhouette features a durable leather upper, a secure hook-and-loop strap, and a cushioned midsole for comfort.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for basketball?
While inspired by basketball shoes, the Forum Mid Trainers are designed for casual wear and everyday comfort, not for professional or high-impact athletic performance.
How do I ensure the best fit?
Lace the shoes comfortably and then secure the hook-and-loop strap. The strap should provide a snug, but not overly tight, fit to enhance stability.
What is the material of the upper?
The upper is constructed primarily from premium leather, with perforations for enhanced breathability.
How do I clean the white leather?
Use a damp cloth and mild soap or a dedicated leather cleaner. Wipe gently and allow to air dry. Avoid harsh chemicals.
What is the origin of the Forum Mid design?
The Forum Mid design is an iconic basketball silhouette that originated in the 1980s.
Does this model come in other colors?
The adidas Forum Mid series is available in various colorways. This guide specifically covers the White and Black version.
What type of socks are recommended?
Mid-length or crew socks are generally recommended for comfort and to work well with the mid-top height of the shoe.
Troubleshooting
Squeaking noise from shoes
This can sometimes happen with new leather shoes. Try wearing them more frequently or apply a small amount of talcum powder under the insole.
Leather appears creased
Creasing is natural with leather. To minimize deep creases, ensure proper fit and avoid over-tightening laces.
Traction feels insufficient on wet surfaces
The rubber outsole provides general traction. For wet or slippery conditions, exercise caution as with any footwear.
Difficulty adjusting the hook-and-loop strap
Ensure the strap area is clean and free of debris. The hook-and-loop mechanism should provide a secure fit when properly aligned.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These trainers require no specific setup. They are ready to wear upon purchase. Ensure laces are tied to your preferred comfort level and secure the hook-and-loop strap.
Compatibility: Suitable for casual wear and general daily activities. They pair well with jeans, shorts, and athleisure wear.
Care:
- Cleaning the Leather Upper: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt and smudges. For tougher stains, a leather cleaner can be used sparingly, followed by wiping with a clean, damp cloth.
- Cleaning the Midsole and Outsole: Use a brush or damp cloth to clean the foam midsole and rubber outsole. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the materials.
- Drying: Allow the trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat or sunlight, which can damage the leather and adhesives.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in their original box, to maintain their shape and protect them from dust.
