FAQs
What is the main inspiration for the Forum 84 Low Candy Cane?
The shoe is a modern reinvention inspired by the original adidas Forum basketball shoe released in 1984, featuring a classic low-top silhouette.
What materials are used in the upper of the shoe?
The upper is crafted from a combination of premium leather, suede, and synthetic overlays.
What are the key colors of the Forum 84 Low Candy Cane?
It features a monochromatic white color scheme with cream/off-white accents and distinctive bright red accents on specific areas like the collar, 3-Stripes, and outsole.
Does the shoe have the original midfoot strap?
Yes, it retains the signature midfoot strap from the original 1984 design.
Is this shoe suitable for playing basketball?
While inspired by a basketball shoe, the Forum 84 Low Candy Cane is designed primarily as a lifestyle and casual wear sneaker, not for performance on the court.
How should I clean the suede parts of the shoe?
Use a specialized suede brush to clean suede. Avoid using water directly on suede as it can damage the material.
What is the main benefit of the midfoot strap?
The midfoot strap provides a nostalgic aesthetic nod to the original design and offers adjustable lockdown for a more secure fit.
Troubleshooting
Shoe feels stiff initially
New leather shoes can take a short period to break in. Wear them for short durations initially to allow the materials to soften and conform to your foot.
Suede appears matted or dirty
Use a dedicated suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, consider a suede cleaner, testing on an inconspicuous area first.
Red accents bleeding onto white material
This is uncommon but can occur if the shoe gets excessively wet. If it happens, try cleaning the affected white area immediately with a mild soap and water solution. Avoid prolonged saturation.
