FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for playing basketball professionally?
While inspired by basketball heritage, the Forum 84 is primarily a lifestyle sneaker. They offer good support for casual play but are not designed for the demands of professional basketball.
How do I determine the right size?
It is recommended to check the adidas sizing chart for accurate measurements. Trying them on in-store or ensuring there's a good return policy if buying online is advisable, as fit can vary.
Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the leather and the shoe's construction. Hand cleaning with a damp cloth and mild soap is the preferred method.
What is the material of the upper?
The upper is primarily made of premium leather.
How should I store the trainers when not in use?
Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, ideally in their original box or a shoe bag to protect them from dust and moisture.
What does 'Off White Dark Green' refer to in the name?
This refers to the primary color palette of the trainers, with 'Off White' being the dominant base color and 'Dark Green' used for accent details and branding.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow the leather to break in and mold to your feet. Ensure you have selected the correct size.
Leather scuffs or scratches appear
For minor scuffs, try using a leather conditioner or a specialized leather cleaner. For deeper scratches, consult a professional shoe repair service.
Laces fraying or breaking
Replace the laces with new ones. You can find replacement laces in various colors at shoe stores or online.
Soles becoming worn
If the wear is significant, consider visiting a cobbler for potential sole repair or replacement, though this may be more costly than replacing the shoes.
