FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for professional basketball?

While inspired by basketball heritage, these Forum 84 trainers are best suited for casual wear and light recreational play. For professional competition, specialized performance footwear is recommended.

How do I determine my correct size?

Refer to the adidas sizing chart and measure your foot length in centimeters or inches. Compare this to the chart to find your corresponding UK size. Given the specific fit of high-tops, trying them on if possible is ideal.

Can I machine wash these trainers?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the leather, adhesives, and overall structure of the shoe.

What is the main difference between this and other Forum 84 models?

The primary differences usually lie in the colorway, materials used (though many feature premium leather), and minor design details. This 'Off White Dark Green' model is distinguished by its specific color palette and the classic high-top design with the signature ankle strap.

How should I care for the leather and suede elements?

Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt. For stains on leather, use a damp cloth or a specialized leather cleaner. For suede, use a suede eraser and brush. Always test cleaning products on an inconspicuous area first.

Is the ankle strap removable?

The ankle strap is a core design element and is not designed to be removed.

Troubleshooting

Leather creasing excessively

This is natural with leather footwear. To minimize creasing, ensure the shoes fit correctly and consider using shoe trees for storage.

Ankle strap feels too tight or loose

Adjust the hook-and-loop fastener on the ankle strap to your preferred level of tightness for a secure fit.

Color transfer from dark green to lighter areas

Allow the shoes to fully dry if wet. For persistent transfer, a leather conditioner or protector might help minimize future issues. Avoid prolonged contact with light-colored socks or clothing when damp.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Forum 84 trainers come ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure you have selected the correct size for optimal comfort.

Compatibility: These trainers are designed for general adult use. They are compatible with a wide range of casual and athletic apparel.

Care:

  • Cleaning: To clean the leather upper, use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt and dust. For stubborn marks, a specialized leather cleaner can be used sparingly.
  • Drying: If the trainers become wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as these can damage the leather.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in their original box or a shoe bag to protect them from dust and direct sunlight.
  • Protection: Consider using a leather protectant spray to help repel water and stains, especially for the cream-colored sections.
