FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for playing basketball?

While the Forum Low has basketball-inspired roots, they are primarily designed as lifestyle trainers for casual wear and may not offer the specialized support and performance required for actual basketball games.

How do I know if I have the correct size?

Try them on with the type of socks you would typically wear. Ensure there is enough room in the toe box and that the heel does not slip. The ankle strap should feel secure but not overly tight.

What is the primary material used for the upper?

The upper is constructed from a combination of genuine leather, featuring both white and black color blocking.

Can these shoes be worn in wet weather?

The leather upper offers some protection, but these are not waterproof. Avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain, and clean them promptly if they get wet.

What is the main advantage of the ankle strap?

The ankle strap provides adjustable support, allowing for a more customized and secure fit around the ankle.

Where is the adidas branding located on the shoe?

The adidas logo is prominently displayed on the side panel of the shoe and also features on the ankle strap.

What is the release date and original retail price?

This specific model was released on May 5, 2021, with an original retail price of $110.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel stiff on first wear.

New leather shoes often require a break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially to allow them to mold to your feet.

Traction feels less effective on wet surfaces.

While the rubber outsole provides good traction, performance may be reduced on very wet or slippery surfaces. Exercise caution in such conditions.

Leather shows scuffs or marks.

Use a leather conditioner or a specialized leather cleaner to address minor scuffs. For deeper marks, professional shoe repair may be considered.

Ankle strap is uncomfortable.

Adjust the strap to find a comfortable tension. Ensure the shoe size is correct, as an incorrect size can make the strap feel restrictive.

Care:

  1. Cleaning the Leather: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt and dust from the leather upper. For tougher stains, a specialized leather cleaner can be used, followed by wiping with a clean cloth. Avoid soaking the shoes.
  2. Cleaning the Midsole and Outsole: A brush or damp cloth can be used to clean the rubber midsole and outsole. Mild soap can be used if necessary, ensuring all residue is wiped away.
  3. Laces: Remove laces and hand wash them with mild detergent. Allow them to air dry completely before re-lacing.
  4. Insole: If removable, the insole can be aired out. Spot clean with a damp cloth if needed, but avoid excessive moisture.
  5. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, preferably in their original box or a shoe bag to maintain their shape and condition.
