FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running or sports?

No, the adidas Forum 84 High Trainers are designed as lifestyle shoes for casual wear and fashion. They are not engineered for high-impact sports or athletic performance.

How should I clean the leather upper?

Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt. For tougher stains, apply a small amount of leather cleaner to a cloth and gently rub the affected area. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous spot first.

Do these trainers run true to size?

Sizing can vary slightly. It is recommended to check the adidas sizing guide and measure your foot to find the best fit. Some users find they run slightly narrow or require a break-in period.

What are the main colors in the 'Cream White Collegiate Purple Collegiate Gold' variant?

The primary color is 'Cream White', complemented by 'Collegiate Purple' accents and 'Collegiate Gold' details, creating a distinctive retro look.

Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?

While the leather offers some protection, these trainers are not waterproof. It's best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain. Applying a leather protectant spray can offer some water resistance.

What is the material of the shoe?

The primary upper material is premium leather. The outsole is typically rubber for traction and durability.

What is the history behind the Forum 84 silhouette?

The Forum 84 is a retro re-release that pays homage to the original adidas Forum basketball shoe introduced in 1984, known for its distinctive cross-strap closure and innovative design for its time.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or loose

Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. Refer to adidas sizing charts for accurate foot measurements. Laces can be adjusted for a more custom fit.

Leather shows scuffs or marks

Use a specialized leather cleaner and a soft cloth to gently remove marks. For deeper scuffs, a leather conditioner or color-matched polish might be necessary.

Discoloration of materials

Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. Clean regularly with appropriate cleaners for leather and synthetic materials. Store away from potential staining agents.

Soles feel stiff or uncomfortable initially

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