FAQs
What is the primary material of the upper?
The upper is primarily constructed from durable CORDURA® fabric, known for its exceptional wear and tear resistance.
Are these shoes suitable for playing basketball?
While inspired by classic 80s basketball shoes, they are designed for everyday wear and casual activities. They may not provide the specific support and performance features required for competitive basketball.
How do I clean the CORDURA® upper?
Use a damp cloth with mild soap and a soft brush for cleaning. Always air dry away from direct heat.
What does 'OG details' refer to?
'OG details' refers to authentic design elements from the original 1980s release of the adidas Forum shoe, such as the iconic strap and branding.
Is this shoe specifically for men or women?
The adidas Forum Low 'Black Grey' is a unisex model, suitable for both men and women. Sizing is typically based on UK men's standards.
What is the benefit of the rubber sole?
The rubber sole provides durability and reliable traction on various surfaces, ensuring a secure and comfortable experience during daily wear.
How does the non-slip feature work?
The tread pattern and material composition of the rubber sole are designed to provide enhanced grip and stability, reducing the risk of slipping on different surfaces.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose.
Adjust the lacing system to achieve a more secure or relaxed fit. If the size is fundamentally incorrect, consider exchanging for a different size.
Squeaking sound when walking.
This can sometimes occur due to friction between the sole and insole. Try inserting a thin sock liner or talcum powder under the insole to reduce friction.
Traction seems reduced on wet surfaces.
The rubber sole offers good grip, but performance on very wet surfaces may be limited. Ensure the sole is clean and free of debris. Use caution in extremely wet conditions.
Visible wear on the CORDURA® upper.
While CORDURA® is durable, excessive abrasion can still cause wear. Ensure you are not dragging your feet excessively. Regular cleaning can help prevent dirt from abrading the fabric.
