FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
The adidas Forum 84 Low generally fits true to size for most adults, though those with wider feet may prefer a half-size larger for extra comfort.
Can I use these for basketball?
While inspired by basketball heritage, these are lifestyle shoes. They lack the modern technical support required for competitive court performance.
How do I maintain the bright red color?
Avoid prolonged exposure to harsh UV light, and use a leather conditioner periodically to keep the material supple and the colors vibrant.
Is the leather upper real or synthetic?
The Forum 84 Low series utilizes high-quality leather, which provides a premium feel and better breathability compared to standard synthetic materials.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the leather, glue, and overall structural integrity of the shoe. Always clean by hand.
Troubleshooting
Creasing in the toe box area
Use a shoe tree when not wearing the shoes to help the leather maintain its shape and minimize deep creases.
Surface stains on white leather
Use a specialized leather sneaker cleaner or a mild soap solution on a soft cloth; avoid harsh chemicals that can strip the finish.
Squeaking sound while walking
This is often caused by moisture under the insole; remove the insole, let it air dry completely, and sprinkle a small amount of foot powder before re-inserting.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Forum 84 Lows stay in peak condition, store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can fade the red accents. When cleaning, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt from the soles. For the leather upper, wipe gently with a damp cloth and a mild leather cleaner; avoid soaking the material. Compatibility-wise, these sneakers pair best with cuffed denim, chinos, or relaxed athletic trousers. Check that your laces are tied securely, but avoid overtightening to prevent unnecessary stress on the leather eyestays.
