FAQs

What is the main difference between this and a traditional Forum shoe?

What materials are used in the upper construction?

The upper is constructed from a combination of canvas and leather.

How should I clean the "Benito" text on the side?

Wipe gently with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid rubbing vigorously or using harsh cleaning agents to prevent damage to the lettering.

What does the yellowed sole signify?

The yellowed sole is a design choice intended to give the shoe a vintage or retro appearance.

Is this shoe suitable for athletic performance?

This shoe is primarily designed for casual lifestyle wear and fashion. It is not optimized for high-impact athletic activities.

What was the original retail price?

The adidas Forum Powerphase Bad Bunny Benito originally retailed for $160.

Are there other colorways or sizes available?

This specific listing is for the Brown colorway in UK 6.5. Other colorways and sizes may exist through different listings or retailers, depending on availability.

Troubleshooting

Sizing feels off

Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. If the issue persists, consider that different shoe models fit slightly differently. Refer to adidas sizing charts for comparison.

Discoloration on the sole

The sole is intentionally yellowed for a vintage aesthetic. If you notice unexpected discoloration, clean gently with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

Canvas material scuffs easily

Minor scuffs on canvas can often be cleaned with a damp cloth or a specialized sneaker cleaner for canvas. For deeper marks, professional cleaning might be considered.

Initial stiffness

New leather and canvas shoes can feel stiff initially. Wear them for short periods to break them in gradually. They will become more comfortable with use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: As footwear, these sneakers require no technical setup. They are ready to wear straight out of the box.

Compatibility: These trainers are designed for adult males and are compatible with standard sock wear. Their versatile design pairs well with a variety of casual clothing styles.

Care:

  1. Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt and smudges from both the leather and canvas sections. For stubborn marks on canvas, a mild soap solution can be used sparingly, followed by wiping with a clean, damp cloth.
  2. Leather Care: Condition the leather parts periodically with a leather conditioner to maintain suppleness and prevent drying.
  3. Sole Cleaning: The yellowed sole can be cleaned with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals that might further alter the intended vintage coloration.
  4. Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources. Stuffing with paper can help maintain shape and absorb moisture.
  5. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag or original box to protect them from dust and damage.
