The upper is primarily made of premium leather, with a synthetic mudguard and terry sock liner.
How do I adjust the fit of the sneaker?
You can adjust the fit using the traditional lacing system and the signature white leather hook-and-loop strap over the laces for a secure closure.
Is this shoe suitable for basketball performance?
While it draws inspiration from a basketball silhouette, the Forum Mid is best suited for lifestyle and casual wear, not for competitive basketball.
How should I clean the white leather parts?
Use a soft brush or a damp cloth with mild soap. For best results, use a cleaner specifically for white leather and consider a protective spray.
What kind of traction does the outsole provide?
The black rubber outsole features circular treads designed to provide multidirectional traction on various surfaces.
What are the key branding elements on this shoe?
Branding includes the adidas trefoil logo in multiple places on the upper, and embossed adidas branding on the sidewall and outsole.
What is the typical fit like?
The Forum Mid generally has a comfortable fit, but some users find it runs slightly large. It's recommended to try them on or consult sizing charts if unsure.
Troubleshooting
Shoe feels too loose or too tight
Adjust the laces to achieve a snug fit, and then fasten the hook-and-loop strap to secure your foot. Experiment with different lace tensions.
White leather shows scuffs or dirt
Gently clean with a soft brush or a damp cloth. For stubborn marks, use a leather cleaner specifically designed for white footwear. Consider applying a protective spray.
Traction feels insufficient on wet surfaces
The rubber outsole offers multidirectional traction, but exercise caution on very wet or slippery surfaces. Ensure the outsole is clean from debris.
Discomfort during long wear
Ensure the laces and strap are adjusted correctly for optimal support. If discomfort persists, consider using insoles for additional cushioning.
