FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for basketball?
While the design is rooted in basketball heritage, it is primarily intended for casual, everyday lifestyle wear rather than high-intensity court sports.
How do I clean the white leather?
Wipe the surface with a soft, damp cloth and a mild detergent. Use a specialized leather cleaner for tougher stains.
Does the ankle strap provide actual support?
Yes, the strap allows you to adjust the tension around the ankle, providing extra stability and a more secure fit.
Can I wear these in the rain?
While leather is water-resistant, it is not waterproof. Avoid heavy rain to prevent water damage or staining on the white material.
Do they run true to size?
The adidas Forum Mid generally fits true to size, though the leather construction means they may feel slightly snug initially before molding to your foot.
Is the material real leather?
Yes, this model features a durable leather upper for a premium feel and lasting quality.
Troubleshooting
Leather showing creases
Use a shoe tree when not wearing the trainers to maintain their shape and reduce deep creasing.
Strap becoming less sticky
Clean the hook-and-loop fabric with a fine-toothed comb or tweezers to remove lint and debris.
White leather looking dull
Apply a mild leather conditioner or a specialized sneaker cleaning solution to restore the finish.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best experience, secure the ankle strap to your preferred tightness upon first wear. Because the upper is crafted from leather, it may feel slightly stiff initially but will break in over time with regular use. For care, keep a soft cloth and leather-safe cleaner on hand to wipe away surface dirt immediately, as the white color is susceptible to staining. Avoid machine washing, as high-heat cycles and prolonged soaking can damage the leather and the adhesive bonding of the sole. When not in use, store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent yellowing of the materials.
