FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for basketball?

While based on a 1984 basketball design, this model is intended for lifestyle and casual use. It lacks the modern technical support required for competitive play.

How should I clean the white accents?

Use a soft-bristled brush and a mild cleaning solution to scrub away dirt. Ensure you air dry the shoes away from direct heat sources.

Does this shoe run true to size?

Yes, the adidas Forum 84 Low generally fits true to size. If you prefer a looser fit, some users opt for a half-size up, but your standard size is recommended.

Are these suitable for wide feet?

The silhouette is relatively standard. Users with very wide feet may find the toe box snug and might consider trying a half-size larger for comfort.

Can I replace the insoles?

Yes, the provided insoles are removable, allowing you to insert custom orthotics if required for additional arch support.

Troubleshooting

Creasing in the toe box area

Use a shoe tree when not wearing the shoes to help maintain the original shape and minimize deep creases.

White details becoming scuffed or dirty

Use a dedicated sneaker cleaning eraser or a soft-bristled toothbrush with a small amount of sneaker cleaner to gently remove surface dirt.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your adidas Forum 84 Low shoes remain in top condition, follow these guidelines:

  1. Fit: Ensure you are using the correct UK size (8.5 UK for this model). The shoes are designed to fit true to size for most adult male users.
  2. Cleaning: Use a soft brush or cloth with mild soap and water to clean the upper. Avoid machine washing, which can damage the structural integrity of the materials.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading and leather cracking.
  4. Protection: Consider using a water and stain-repellent spray specifically designed for leather and synthetic footwear to extend the lifespan of the white accents.
