Here’s Why the adidas Forum is Here to Stay

The adidas Forum is one of the footwear models from the past that has returned to the sneaker landscape in recent years. We do not doubt that many are seeing them for the first time, especially after the Three Stripes served them as a collaborative canvas for Puerto Rican music artist Bad Bunny in 2021. However, the adidas Forum is a shoe that will remain in the Three Stripe's catalogue for many good reasons. Here's why.

In recent years, peoples' obsession with retro models has grown more apparent — and as many say, trends will always come and go. The Forum encapsulates everything from its origins and taps into the interests of sneakerheads and fashion-conscious individuals. Buttery soft leather, old-school elements like the forefoot strap, recognisable Three Stripes and Trefoil branding, and a pre-aged midsole, what else could you need?

The adidas Forum emerged in various colourways over the last two years, but the "Altered Blue" and "Halo Blue" are undeniably the must-have pairs if you're looking for shoes that are suitable all year round.

The adidas Forum 84 Low "Blue" is a direct nod to its basketball roots: an off-white upper, alternating shades of blue on the Three Stripes, shimmery gold Trefoil imprint, and a slightly yellowed midsole. This is nothing but the perfect collegiate sneaker seen on the courts in the '80s.

The Forum Low "Halo Blue" opts more for a modern outfit: a clean white base accompanied by pastel tones, this is a pair suitable for those whose wardrobe consists of various coloured pieces and not "I only wear black" vibes. Not to forget that they are partly made with eco-friendly materials, aligning with adidas' mission of reducing the usage of virgin materials. Furthermore, the iconic hook-and-loop strap remains to preserve its original profile.

As you can see, these are just two of many covetable colourways that make up adidas' Forum collection. We recommend that you pick up your size today (you won't regret it). Also, use our adidas Forum sizing guide so you know how they fit!
