FAQs
What is the primary material of the adidas Forum 84 High Collegiate Green Red?
The upper is constructed from a combination of premium leather and suede materials.
What is the purpose of the ankle strap?
The ankle strap is designed to provide a more secure fit, enhance stability, and contribute to the shoe's iconic design.
How should I clean the suede parts of the trainers?
Use a suede brush to clean dry dirt and maintain texture. For tougher marks, consider a specialized suede cleaner and avoid getting the suede wet.
Are these trainers suitable for professional basketball playing?
While inspired by basketball shoes, these trainers are primarily designed for casual wear and lifestyle purposes. They offer support but may not meet the specific demands of professional play.
What does 'Collegiate Green Red' refer to in the name?
This refers to the specific colorway of the trainers, featuring cream as the base color, accented with collegiate green and red details.
How do I ensure I get the right size?
Refer to the size chart provided by adidas and measure your foot. These are listed in UK sizing, and the specific size in this guide is 11.5.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
While the leather offers some protection, the suede components are susceptible to water damage. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain and consider using a water-repellent spray.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight initially
Leather and suede often require a break-in period. Wear the shoes for short periods initially, gradually increasing the duration. Ensure the ankle strap is not overtightened.
Suede material looks dull or dirty
Use a dedicated suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For stubborn stains, consult a professional leather and suede cleaner.
Ankle strap doesn't feel secure
Adjust the strap to a tighter setting. Ensure the hook-and-loop closure is firmly attached. If the strap is worn out, it may need replacement.
Creasing on the leather upper
Creasing is a natural part of leather wear. To minimize it, avoid over-tightening laces and store shoes with shoe trees or stuffing when not in use.

Care:
- Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt. For suede areas, use a suede brush to maintain texture and remove dry dirt. Avoid soaking the shoes.
- Laces: Remove laces for separate cleaning if heavily soiled. Hand wash or machine wash on a delicate cycle in a garment bag.
