FAQs

Are these suitable for professional basketball?

While they offer good support and durability for casual wear and light sports, the Forum 84 Low ADV are not specifically designed for the high-impact demands of professional basketball. For professional play, consider specialized basketball shoes.

How do I determine my correct UK size?

Refer to the size chart provided by adidas, which typically matches foot length in centimeters or inches to the corresponding UK shoe size. Ensure your foot is measured while standing.

Can the 'White Gum' colorway be easily cleaned?

The white leather upper can be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap. The gum sole can be cleaned with a damp cloth, and stubborn marks can often be removed with a magic eraser.

What is the primary difference from standard Forum 84 models?

The 'ADV' designation often implies enhanced durability and features specifically adapted for skateboarding or active daily use, such as a more robust construction and potentially a more supportive footbed compared to classic lifestyle versions.

Is the leather waterproof?

The leather is water-resistant to a degree but not fully waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain may still lead to moisture seeping in. Consider using a leather protector spray for added resistance.

How should I store these sneakers when not in use?

Store them in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape and prevent creasing.

Troubleshooting

Squeaking noise from shoes

This can sometimes happen with new leather shoes. Try wearing them more or applying a small amount of talcum powder under the insole if possible.

Leather creasing

Creasing is natural with leather. To minimize it, ensure proper fit and consider using shoe trees when not in use.

Sole traction feels reduced

Ensure the rubber sole is clean. Dirt and debris can significantly impact grip. Wipe them down with a damp cloth.
