FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, the adidas Forum 84 High generally fits true to your standard adult UK size.
Can I play basketball in these?
While they pay homage to basketball history, they are primarily designed as lifestyle trainers rather than performance sports shoes.
What is the primary material used?
The trainers are constructed with high-quality leather for both durability and a premium aesthetic.
How do I best clean white leather?
Use a damp microfiber cloth with a small amount of mild detergent. Gently wipe and follow with a dry cloth.
Is the ankle strap removable?
The Forum 84 High design typically features a static strap; it is recommended to keep it fastened for the intended look and support.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty getting the foot in
Loosen the top three eyelets completely before inserting your foot to provide extra clearance.
Creasing on the toe box
Use a shoe tree when the trainers are not being worn to help maintain the shoe's internal structure and minimize creases.
Stiff leather feel
The leather will soften naturally with consistent wear; avoid applying heavy oils or chemicals that may damage the finish.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
When you first receive your Forum 84 High trainers, ensure you adjust the lacing to suit your preferred tightness around the ankle. To keep your trainers looking new, use a soft-bristled brush to remove surface dust. If the leather gets dirty, wipe it gently with a damp cloth and a mild soap solution. Always allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources to prevent the leather from cracking or warping. Avoid submerging them in water or using harsh industrial cleaners.
