FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for running?

While inspired by basketball, these trainers are primarily designed for casual wear and everyday comfort. They may not offer the specific support and cushioning required for serious running.

How do I know if I have the right size?

It is recommended to check the size guide provided by adidas and measure your foot to find the best UK size. The Forum 84 High 'UNC' in UK 12 is a specific measurement.

Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?

No, it is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. The materials and construction, particularly the glossy upper and inner lining, can be damaged by a washing machine cycle.

What is the main difference between the Forum 84 High and other Forum models?

The Forum 84 High specifically refers to a retro re-issue that often incorporates premium materials and a design closer to the original 1984 model, emphasizing heritage and classic detailing.

Is the ankle strap removable?

No, the iconic ankle strap is a fixed design element of the Forum 84 High and is not removable.

What does 'UNC' stand for in the product name?

'UNC' typically refers to the University of North Carolina, often indicating a colorway inspired by the university's team colors, which frequently include light blue and white.

Troubleshooting

Discomfort or rubbing

Ensure the laces are correctly tied and the ankle strap is adjusted for a secure but not overly tight fit. Wearing appropriate socks can also help prevent rubbing.

Scuffs on the glossy upper

Gently wipe the affected area with a damp cloth. For tougher marks, use a specialized leather cleaner suitable for synthetic leather, following product instructions carefully.

Slipping on smooth surfaces

The rubber outsole provides traction, but it's important to ensure it is clean. Remove any debris or mud that may be stuck to the sole. The grip may be reduced on exceptionally wet or polished surfaces.
