With the Forum, adidas revives a classic basketball shoe of the 80s and equips it with modern technologies. Thus, the integrated Bounce sole is equipped with a foam technology that provides outstanding cushioning and optimal comfort. The foam consists of two expanding polymer components, which store energy from each step and return it directly. In addition, the rubber sole provides an extremely good grip. The combination of laces and Velcro closure, as well as the characteristic 3-stripes, the famous Trefoil logo on the side and the iconic trefoil on the tongue ensures a timeless style.

These are a great retro look & fit.I really like the mid level look/feel. Not very low to me, but it's just a name. Great color combo. It's got a VELCRO strap. Can't get more ankle support reto ness than that. Great shoe.

I purchased these shoes and loved them, so stylish.. however, I had to send them back because they were the wrong size, on the site it says au sizes when adidas does not come in au sizing, only American and UK size. I really feel that they should specify this on these shoes, I was so disappointed when I put them on and they were too big. If your from Australia and and have had the same problem, I'd recommend going straight to the adidas store to get them, at least they have a size chart to help with purchases

I ordered this and it came in a week from Great Britain to Aus, I am so happy with my order. It came out perfectly with the velcro straps, although they are not included in the photos. It was hard to find this specific product and color anywhere and for the price. I am so happy with ASOS, and will definitely be ordering from them again!

I'm a sneaker freak, and I adore crisp white trainers to pull any look together. Adidas makes great quality shoes-especially for the price point-and these Forum Lo trainers are no exception. I'm an 8.5 and I purchased the men's 7.5 (these are unisex); they fit perfectly. Even better, they came super-fast. I bought my Nike Air Force 1s from Finish Line and when I went looking for these I knew just where to purchase them from. Would definitely recommend both the shoes and the store.
I've always been a fan of Adidas products. So, I am a bit biased in my opinion. However, I fell in love with the Adidas Forum back in 1989. Our Central High School JV basketball team played against Roxborough High's JV. Their squad loved to trap after every made basket. We were having some issues getting the ball up the court. Our point guard, Tony for some reason got fired up. Tony was from North Philadelphia. He didn't like the idea that a bunch of dudes (from a neighborhood he didn't respect) were putting the clamps on our offense. After a time out, I inbound the ball to the shooting guard. The trap comes rapidly. He swings it to Tony. Tony dribbles into the trap on purpose. I was certain he would turn the ball over. What I witnessed after that was pure magic.

The trap comes rapidly. He swings it to Tony. Tony dribbles into the trap on purpose. I was certain he would turn the ball over. What I witnessed after that was pure magic. To be honest, I'm not sure what I saw. Tony broke the ankles of one defender and dribbled through the legs of another defender. He got through the trap, spun on another defender in the paint, and laid the ball up for two. Tony wore blue and white Adidas (low top) Forums. From that moment on, I was a fan of the shoe. To me, the shoe is comfortable. I generally pair it with an Adidas sweatsuit or jeans. It isn't as iconic as the Pro Model, but if you're around "Old School" basketball players, I'm sure they'll respect your style choice.
Had to buy several of these shoes as they are very inconsistent. Some are deformed (3 of the ones I ordered), and some just feel completely different. Very tight around the toes, yet others feel slightly better even though it's the same shoe. What you end up with is a lottery. Very disappointed as the shoes themselves look great but comfort is hit and miss.
I bought these almost 6 months ago and I admit I haven't worn them yet. I worked in a sneaker store back in '85 when the forums were the king of the sneaker world. A lot of updates have been released recently, but this one has the correct leather, and that red dot on the sole... that's the real deal! Waiting for that perfect spring or summer day to take these out for a debut. Finally, a true interpretation of the original forum swagger!
I am in love with these shoes, they’re exactly what I had envisioned. My only issue is that the sizing runs VERY big. I am typically a size AU 9 in Adidas, Nike, Dr. Marten, Reebok. Every shoe brand pretty much. So I ordered a size 9, but was shocked when they came, they were massive. A whole size if not 2 sizes too big for me. Had to return then and get a smaller size…
I decided to get the Forums instead of the Campus 00s and I love them! They feel quite nostalgic with the velcro strap on them and are comfy to wear. I do find that they are a bit tight in the toe area but it’s not too noticeable. But other than that they’re so nice to wear, I’ve had many compliments!
Up there with my favorite trainers ever. I wasn't actually looking for a black pair of trainers but a red pair. However after first dismissing them I eventually took a look and there and then knew I had to get them. Very happy I did!
