FAQs

What is the primary material of the adidas Forum 84 High 'UNC'?

The primary material for the upper is a glossy leather-like synthetic, complemented by suede accents on certain parts.

Are these shoes suitable for athletic performance, like basketball?

While inspired by basketball heritage, these are primarily designed for comfort and style in everyday wear. They are not specialized basketball performance shoes.

How should I clean the Creamwhite/White/Blue colorway?

Use a damp cloth for general cleaning of the leather-like surfaces. For suede, use a specialized suede brush. Avoid soaking the shoes.

What does 'UNC' typically refer to in adidas shoe colorways?

'UNC' often refers to the University of North Carolina, known for its distinct light blue and white color scheme, which this shoe incorporates.

Can the ankle strap be removed?

The ankle strap is a fixed design element of the shoe and cannot be removed.

What type of fit does the high-top design offer?

The high-top design provides ankle support and a secure fit, especially when combined with the adjustable ankle strap.

Is the midsole genuinely worn-in, or is it a design feature?

The slightly worn-in appearance of the midsole is a stylistic design choice to give the shoe a vintage aesthetic.

Troubleshooting

Shoe feels too tight or loose

Adjust the ankle strap to your preferred level of tightness. Ensure you have selected the correct shoe size for your foot.

Scuffs or dirt on the leather-like upper

Gently wipe the affected area with a damp cloth. For tougher marks, use a mild leather cleaner and follow care instructions.

Discoloration of suede elements

Use a suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. Avoid getting suede parts wet.
