FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for playing basketball?
The Forum 84 has a basketball heritage, but this specific retro release is primarily designed for lifestyle and casual wear. They may offer some support but are not optimized for high-performance athletic play.
How do I clean the leather upper?
Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt. For tougher spots, a mild soap solution or a dedicated leather cleaner can be applied sparingly with a soft brush or cloth. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first.
What is the best way to store these trainers?
Store them in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees helps maintain their shape and prevent creasing.
Do these trainers run true to size?
Sizing can vary slightly. It's recommended to check the adidas size chart and consider trying them on if possible. Many users find they fit true to size, but some recommend going up half a size if you have wider feet.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
While the leather can offer some protection, these trainers are not waterproof. It's best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions. Applying a water-repellent spray can offer additional protection against light moisture.
What does 'Off White Dark Green' refer to?
This describes the colorway of the trainers. 'Off White' refers to the primary base color, while 'Dark Green' refers to the accent colors used on the stripes, heel, and other details.
Troubleshooting
Stiff or uncomfortable on first wear
This is common with new leather shoes. Wear them for short periods initially to allow them to break in and mold to your foot shape.
Leather creasing excessively
Creasing is natural with leather. Proper care, including using shoe trees for storage, can help minimize deep creases and maintain the shoe's structure.
Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces
New shoe soles can sometimes be slick. Walking on varied surfaces can help 'break in' the outsole. If the issue persists, consider a rubber sole protector or tread.
Color transfer from dark green accents
Ensure the shoes are completely dry before wearing. If color transfer is a concern, use a leather sealant spray on the green areas, following product instructions carefully.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt. For stubborn stains, a specialized leather cleaner can be used sparingly. Avoid machine washing.
- Drying: If the shoes get wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hair dryers, as this can damage the leather.
- Protection: Consider applying a water and stain repellent spray designed for leather to help protect them from the elements. Reapply periodically.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape when not in use.
