FAQs
What is the primary material of the adidas Forum 84 trainers?
The primary material for the upper of these trainers is premium leather.
Are these trainers suitable for playing basketball?
While inspired by basketball heritage, these trainers are best suited for casual wear and light recreational activities. For serious basketball play, specialized performance footwear is recommended.
How do I clean the cream and green color accents?
Use a soft, damp cloth for general cleaning. For tougher marks on the cream areas, a specialized leather cleaner might be effective, but always test on a small, hidden area first.
Does the ankle strap offer adjustable support?
Yes, the iconic ankle strap is designed to be adjustable, allowing you to customize the fit and support around your ankle.
What makes the Forum 84 different from other trainers?
The Forum 84 is distinguished by its faithful reproduction of the original 80s hardwood design, including the signature ankle strap, premium materials, and classic silhouette.
What is the expected lifespan of these trainers?
With proper care and regular maintenance, the durable leather and construction of the Forum 84 trainers can provide a long lifespan for casual wear.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Ensure laces are loosened before putting on. The leather will stretch slightly with wear. If still uncomfortable, consider if the size is correct or if a shoe stretcher might help.
Stains on the leather
Gently wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap. For stubborn stains, use a specialized leather cleaner, testing on an inconspicuous area first.
Ankle strap doesn't feel secure
Adjust the strap for a snugger fit. Ensure the hook-and-loop (Velcro) or buckle mechanism is clean and free of debris to ensure proper adhesion.
Squeaking noise when walking
This can sometimes occur due to friction. Try placing a small piece of powder or a talc-free insert inside the shoe to reduce friction, or check if the insole needs repositioning.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: For the leather upper, use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt and dust. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the leather.
- Suede/Nubuck (if applicable): If any part of the shoe features suede or nubuck, use a specialized suede brush to clean and maintain the texture.
- Laces: Remove laces and wash them separately if needed. For the shoe itself, spot clean with a mild soap and water solution if necessary.
- Drying: Allow the trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or prolonged sun exposure, which can cause leather to crack or fade.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally in their original box or a shoe bag to protect them from dust and maintain their shape.
