Full details
The adidas Forum 84 Low in University Red and White is designed for adults seeking a stylish and comfortable low-top sneaker for casual wear. Its key benefit is the blend of classic archive design with modern comfort. A potential caveat is that while inspired by vintage aesthetics, it offers contemporary wearability, which might not appeal to purists seeking an exact replica of historical models. Key features include a premium leather upper, a two-tone color scheme, and the signature X-shaped overlay.

FAQs
What material is the upper made of?
The upper is primarily made of soft white leather.
Are these shoes suitable for athletic performance?
These shoes are designed for lifestyle and casual wear. While comfortable for walking, they are not intended for high-impact athletic activities.
How do I clean the scarlet accents?
For the scarlet details, use a soft cloth with mild soap and water. Test any cleaning solution on an inconspicuous area first.
What does the '84' in Forum 84 Low signify?
The '84' refers to the original year the adidas Forum silhouette was released, highlighting its archival heritage.
Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?
While the leather can be treated for some water resistance, these shoes are not waterproof and prolonged exposure to heavy rain is not recommended. Allow them to dry completely if they get wet.
How do I find the right size?
Refer to the adidas sizing chart. If possible, trying them on in-store is the best way to ensure a proper fit, as sizing can vary slightly between models.
Does this model come in other colors?
The Forum 84 Low series is available in various colorways. This specific guide focuses on the University Red and White model.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Wear them for short periods initially to allow the leather to stretch and mold to your foot. Using thicker socks during the break-in period can also help expand the fit.
Scuff marks on leather
Gently buff out minor scuffs with a soft, dry cloth. For deeper marks, use a leather cleaner and conditioner specifically designed for white leather.
Laces wear out
Replace worn laces with standard sneaker laces. You can find replacements in various colors, including white or red, to match the shoe.
Soles lose grip over time
Ensure the rubber outsole is clean from debris. If grip significantly diminishes due to wear, it may indicate the outsole has worn down and replacement of the shoes might be necessary.
