FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for professional basketball?
While inspired by 1980s basketball shoes, the Forum 84 Low is designed for lifestyle and casual wear rather than modern high-performance sports.
How should I clean the suede?
Use a soft suede brush to remove loose dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a suede-specific cleaner and avoid heavy saturation with water.
Does the suede require any protective treatment?
Yes, applying a suede-specific waterproof spray is highly recommended to protect against stains and light rain.
Are they true to size?
The adidas Forum 84 generally fits true to size for most wearers, though personal preference for fit may vary.
Can these be worn in the rain?
Suede is sensitive to water. It is best to avoid heavy rain, but with a proper protective spray, the shoes can handle light exposure.
Troubleshooting
Surface scuffs on the suede
Use a specialized suede eraser or a clean, soft-bristled brush to gently buff the affected area in a back-and-forth motion.
Visible water spots
Lightly dampen the entire surface of the shoe with a suede-safe mist and let it dry naturally to even out the appearance.
Loss of traction
Check the outsole for lodged pebbles or built-up mud; clean the treads with a stiff brush to restore the original grip pattern.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For the best fit, ensure you are wearing appropriate socks for your typical activity level. To protect the suede, it is highly recommended to apply a suede-specific water and stain repellent spray before the first wear. Avoid submerging the shoes in water; for minor surface dirt, use a soft-bristled suede brush to gently lift debris. For deeper stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner or eraser kit. Always allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can cause the suede to stiffen or shrink.
