FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
The adidas Forum 84 Low is primarily designed for casual wear and lifestyle. While they offer some support, they are not engineered for athletic running performance.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Refer to the sizing chart provided by adidas, or try them on in-store if possible. Ensure there is enough room in the toe box and the heel doesn't slip excessively.
Can I wash these shoes?
Washing machines are not recommended for leather shoes as they can damage the material and construction. Spot clean with a damp cloth and appropriate leather cleaners instead.
What is the main material of the shoe?
The shoe is made of 100% leather.
How do the black accents look against the off-white base?
The black accents on the ankle collar, heel, and adidas logo provide a crisp contrast against the off-white base color, enhancing the shoe's overall aesthetic.
When were these shoes originally released?
This particular colorway and design pays homage to the original three-stripe basketball shoe, which was introduced decades ago. The Forum 84 Low models were re-released starting in early 2022.
Are there other color options available?
Yes, the Forum 84 Low series is available in various colorways, including different combinations of white, brown, and other neutral tones, as well as distinct accent colors.
Troubleshooting
Creasing on leather
Natural creasing is expected with leather. To minimize, ensure proper fit and use shoe trees when not in use. Avoid over-tightening laces.
Stiffness on first wear
Leather shoes often require a break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase duration. Gentle flexing of the shoe can also help.
Scuffs on the off-white base
Clean gently with a damp cloth and mild soap. For persistent marks, a magic eraser can be used with extreme caution on the rubber parts, but avoid the leather.
