THE ADIDAS FORUMTHE PERFECT INTERSECTIONOF SPORT AND LIFESTYLE

Debuted in 1984, the adidas Forum Hi served as a durable, supportive, and comfortable option to hoopers in professional and amateur leagues everywhere. Its premium leather quality, adjustable ankle strap and higher price point made the sneaker a status symbol off-the-court in cities like Boston. If you’re on the fence about which adidas Forum version to get, you can’t go wrong with the original.

The adidas Forum Mid, unlike competing mid-tops, lacks the stigma the name often carries. In all actuality, the silhouette serves as the face just like the rest of the family, frequently cast in similar retro-informed frameworks. Today, the catalog only continues to grow, with modernized versions quickly coming to the spotlight alongside. One can’t go wrong with a team-based white/royal blue blend, a two-toned look that seems to go with…everything.

adidas was quick to make the Forum its flagship; but among the three versions, few see the spotlight quite like its low-top variant. Alongside collaborations with Bad Bunny, Human Made, and even the Simpsons, the silhouette is continuously offered in attractive GR colorways. And no matter your preference — retro or contemporary — the Three Stripes have more than enough variety to accommodate.
