FAQs

What materials are used in the adidas Forum 84 High Collegiate Green Red?

The shoes feature a layered upper constructed from a combination of premium leather and suede.

How does the ankle strap function?

The leather strap on the ankle provides a more secure fit and enhances stability, allowing for adjustment to the wearer's preference.

Are these shoes suitable for basketball?

While inspired by classic basketball sneakers, these are primarily designed for casual wear and lifestyle use. For professional basketball, specialized performance shoes are recommended.

How do I clean the suede parts of the shoe?

Use a suede eraser or a dedicated suede brush to clean suede areas. Avoid water and harsh chemicals. For stains, a slightly damp cloth can be used on the leather parts.

What is the typical sizing like for these trainers?

The Forum 84 High generally follows standard UK sizing. It's recommended to check the adidas sizing chart and consider trying them on if possible, as leather and suede can have a break-in period.

What colors are featured on this model?

The shoes predominantly feature a cream white base, complemented by green and red accents on the collar and the iconic three stripes.

Can I adjust the fit of the shoe?

Yes, the ankle strap allows for adjustment to customize the fit and improve stability.

Troubleshooting

Tight fit on arrival

The leather and suede may require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time. Consider using thicker socks during the break-in phase.

Suede appearing dull or dirty

Use a suede eraser to gently lift dirt and restore the nap. Follow up with a suede brush to revive the texture. For persistent marks, consult specific suede cleaning guides.

Ankle strap feels restrictive

Adjust the strap to a comfortable, secure fit without overtightening. The strap is designed for support, so ensure it's not causing discomfort by being too tight.

Stitching issues

Inspect the stitching regularly. Minor loose threads can often be carefully trimmed. For significant issues, contact customer support regarding warranty.
