FAQs

Are the adidas Forum 84s true to size?

Yes, they generally follow standard adidas sizing, but the leather construction may feel snug at first compared to mesh sneakers.

Can I remove the ankle strap?

The strap is a permanent fixture of the Forum 84 design and is not intended to be removed.

Are these shoes good for playing competitive basketball?

While they are rooted in basketball history, modern performance shoes provide better specialized technology for high-intensity sports; these are best for casual use.

How do I keep the white parts clean?

Wipe regularly with a soft cloth and use a dedicated sneaker cleaner designed for leather to prevent dirt buildup.

Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?

The leather upper provides some stretch over time, but those with wider feet may find the high-top structure somewhat restrictive initially.

What material is the upper made of?

The upper is constructed primarily from high-quality leather, providing durability and a classic look.

Troubleshooting

Leather feels too stiff during first wear

Wear the trainers for short periods around the house to allow the leather to soften and mold to your foot shape.

Ankle strap feels uncomfortable or loose

Adjust the Velcro positioning; if it feels loose, ensure the strap is fed correctly through the loop and pulled taut before fastening.

Surface scuffs on the white leather

Use a specialized leather eraser or a soft cloth with a tiny amount of leather-safe soap to gently buff out marks.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To get the most out of your adidas Forum 84 trainers, ensure the strap is adjusted to your preference—tighten it for extra stability or wear it looser for a more relaxed aesthetic. Because the exterior is crafted from leather, avoid submerging them in water. To clean, wipe the surface with a damp cloth and a mild leather cleaner; allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources, which can cause the leather to crack. When not in use, store them in a cool, dry place and use shoe trees to help maintain the original silhouette of the toe box.
