FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for professional basketball?

While the Forum 84 Low ADV offers good durability and traction, they are primarily designed for casual wear and light athletic activities. For professional basketball, specialized footwear with advanced support and cushioning is recommended.

How should I clean the 'gum' sole?

The gum sole can be cleaned with a soft brush and mild soap and water. For tougher stains, a specialized sole cleaner can be used, followed by rinsing with a damp cloth.

What is the material of the upper?

The upper of the adidas Forum 84 Low ADV 'White Gum' is made of leather.

Can I machine wash these sneakers?

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

What does 'ADV' stand for in the product name?

In the context of adidas skateboarding, 'ADV' often signifies advanced features and construction tailored for skateboarding performance, though the Forum 84 Low ADV is also suited for general wear.

How do I maintain the white leather finish?

Regularly wipe the leather with a damp cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a leather cleaner specifically designed for white leather. Applying a leather protectant spray can also help prevent stains.

What is the primary benefit of the molded sockliner?

The molded sockliner is designed to enhance comfort by providing a supportive and cushioned footbed, conforming to the shape of the foot.

Troubleshooting

Leather creasing excessively

This is normal for leather shoes with wear. To minimize, ensure proper fit and avoid over-tightening laces. Use shoe trees when storing.

Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces

Ensure the rubber sole is clean and free from debris. For new shoes, there might be a slight break-in period. Avoid use on excessively wet or oily surfaces.

Discoloration of the white leather

Clean immediately after contact with staining substances. Use a dedicated leather cleaner and conditioner to maintain the original color and protect the material.

Compatibility: Suitable for adult males, compatible with various casual outfits. They are designed for general wear and light athletic activities.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning the Upper: For the leather, use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt. For stubborn marks, a leather cleaner can be used sparingly.
  2. Cleaning the Sole: The rubber sole can be cleaned with a brush and mild soap and water. Ensure all soap residue is rinsed off.
  3. Laces: Remove laces and hand wash them separately with mild detergent. Allow to air dry completely before reinserting.
  4. Drying: Always air dry the sneakers. Avoid direct heat or tumble drying, as this can damage the leather and affect the shoe's structure.
  5. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, preferably in a shoe bag or box to protect from dust and scuffs.
