The Adidas Forum, from which this 'White Green Gum' variant descends, emerged in 1984. Designed by Jacques Chassaing, it was a bold statement in basketball footwear. It was the first Adidas shoe offered in low, mid, and high-top models.
Originally conceived for the rigors of basketball, the Forum Low, including the 'White Green Gum' colorway, has transcended its athletic origins. It has become a staple in streetwear, skateboarding, and casual fashion. Its design offers both style and a level of comfort suitable for everyday wear.
The Adidas Forum, in its various forms, has profoundly shaped street style since its debut. Its influence extends to hip-hop, fashion, and basketball. The Forum Low, particularly in its classic colorways, is a symbol of retro-cool, favored by trendsetters across the globe. The model's resurgence around 2020-2021 solidified its place in modern fashion.
This iteration features a low-top silhouette meticulously crafted from leather, enhanced with suede panels. The design incorporates the iconic Three Stripes branding, the X-panel detail, and the Trefoil logo on the tongue. The 'White Green Gum' edition is completed by a classic gum rubber outsole.
