Full details

The adidas Parley x Forum Mid Trainers are designed for eco-conscious adults who value classic basketball-inspired aesthetics combined with modern sustainable construction. These trainers offer exceptional comfort through a BOOST drop-in midsole and a secure fit via the signature ankle strap, making them ideal for everyday casual wear. One notable caveat is that the textile upper requires careful maintenance to preserve its appearance compared to traditional leather alternatives.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

While they feature comfortable BOOST cushioning, they are designed as lifestyle trainers rather than dedicated running shoes.

How do I clean the textile upper?

Spot clean using a soft cloth or brush dipped in mild soapy water. Air dry away from direct heat.

Does the ankle strap provide actual support?

The ankle strap allows for a more secure fit around the ankle area, providing a sense of stability and lockdown.

Are these shoes made from ocean plastic?

The partnership with Parley for the Oceans focuses on creating products that help end plastic waste using recycled materials.

How does the sizing run?

These trainers generally follow standard adidas sizing; however, if you plan to wear thick socks, some users prefer a half-size larger.

Troubleshooting

Ankle strap losing its grip

Use a soft brush to remove lint, hair, or debris from the hook-and-loop surface to restore its locking strength.

BOOST midsole appearing dirty

Gently scrub the midsole with a damp cloth and mild detergent, taking care not to soak the upper textile.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Incorporates significant recycled content
  • High level of underfoot comfort via BOOST technology
  • Classic, recognizable basketball-inspired design
  • Adjustable ankle strap provides a secure, customizable fit

Cons

  • Textile upper is more prone to staining than leather
  • Mid-top profile may feel restrictive to some users
  • Limited to specific white and black colorway

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your shoes last, always loosen the laces and undo the ankle strap before sliding your feet in; forcing the foot into a tied shoe can damage the heel counter. Given the textile nature of the upper, it is recommended to spot-clean using a soft brush and mild soap. Avoid putting these trainers in a washing machine, as high-heat drying and agitation can compromise the adhesive bonds and the integrity of the BOOST midsole. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material degradation.
