FAQs

What is the primary material of the adidas Forum Powerphase Bad Bunny Benito?

The upper is constructed from a combination of canvas and leather.

What is unique about the "Benito" branding?

The "Benito" text is customized and located on the lateral side of the shoe, adding a personal touch from the collaboration.

What is the inspiration behind the design?

The design ditches the traditional Forum ankle strap and borrows paneling from the classic adidas Powerphase silhouette, creating a hybrid look.

Are these suitable for athletic performance?

These are fashion sneakers designed primarily for casual wear and lifestyle. They are not intended for rigorous athletic activities.

When did this shoe release and what was its original price?

The adidas Forum Powerphase Bad Bunny Benito was released in February 2022 and originally retailed for $160.

How should I clean the yellowed sole?

Use a damp cloth for general cleaning. For tougher marks, a mild soap solution and a soft brush can be used carefully. Avoid harsh chemicals that might alter the color.

Does this model have an ankle strap?

No, this model notably ditches the traditional Forum ankle strap for a cleaner profile.

Troubleshooting

Sizing feels incorrect

Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. Refer to Adidas sizing charts for accurate conversions if needed. Allow for a brief break-in period as the materials adapt to your foot.

Creasing on leather or canvas

Some creasing is natural with wear, especially on leather. To minimize severe creasing, consider using shoe trees when not in use. Avoid over-tightening laces.

Discoloration of the yellowed sole

The aged look of the sole is intentional. For general cleaning, use a damp cloth. If you wish to maintain the 'aged' aesthetic, avoid aggressive cleaning agents that might lighten the color too much.

Canvas material appears dirty

Gently clean the canvas with a soft brush and a mild soap and water solution. Blot with a clean, damp cloth and allow to air dry completely. Test any cleaning solution on an inconspicuous area first.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: As footwear, these sneakers require no setup. Ensure you have selected the correct size for optimal comfort.

Compatibility: Suitable for adult males. These are fashion sneakers and are best suited for casual wear. They are not designed for high-impact athletic activities.

Care:

  1. Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft brush or damp cloth to gently wipe away dirt and dust from the canvas and leather. For stubborn stains on leather, a specialized leather cleaner can be used sparingly. Avoid soaking the materials.
  2. Cleaning the Sole: The yellowed sole can be cleaned with a damp cloth. For tougher marks, a mild soap solution and a soft brush can be effective. Be cautious not to scrub too aggressively to avoid damaging the material.
  3. Drying: Always air dry the sneakers at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources or sunlight, as this can damage the leather and alter the shape of the shoe.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally in a shoe box or dust bag to protect them from dust and maintain their shape. Ensure they are completely dry before storing.
