FAQs
What is the main color of this shoe?
The main colors are off-white and white leather, with distinctive UNC blue accents on the insignia, collar, and parts of the suede upper.
Is this shoe suitable for sports?
While inspired by classic basketball designs, the Forum 84 High is primarily intended for lifestyle and casual wear. It offers decent support but is not designed for rigorous athletic performance.
How do I clean the suede parts?
Use a specialized suede brush to gently lift dirt and restore the nap. For stains, a dedicated suede cleaner is recommended. Avoid using water on suede as it can cause discoloration or damage.
What does 'UNC' refer to?
'UNC' typically refers to the University of North Carolina, known for its signature light blue color, which is incorporated into the design of these sneakers.
How does the sizing run for the Forum 84 High?
The sizing generally follows standard adidas UK sizing. It's recommended to consult a size chart or try them on if possible, as fit can vary slightly between individuals.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
While the leather offers some protection, it's not fully waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain can damage the leather and suede. It's best to avoid wearing them in very wet conditions.
What is the sole made of?
The sole is made of durable rubber, designed to provide good traction and longevity for everyday wear.
Troubleshooting
Sneakers feel too tight
Loosen the laces and re-tie them, ensuring they are not overtightened. If the issue persists, consider if the size is correct or if a break-in period is needed.
Leather creasing excessively
Creasing is natural with leather. To minimize it, ensure proper fit and consider using shoe trees when not in use to help maintain shape.
Dirt marks on the white leather
Wipe gently with a damp cloth. For tougher marks, use a specific leather cleaner suitable for white leather, testing on an inconspicuous area first.
UNC blue color bleeding
This is rare but can occur if the blue suede gets excessively wet. Avoid getting the shoes soaked. If bleeding occurs, allow the area to dry naturally and use a suede brush.
