The adidas Forum, born in 1984, emerged as a premier basketball shoe, quickly ascending to a status symbol. Its design and construction were revolutionary for its time, and it set the stage for later iterations. The 'Dipped' version, a modern interpretation of this classic, represents a continuation of the brand's legacy.
Primarily designed for casual wear, the 'Dipped' Forum High is a versatile sneaker suited for various settings. Its easy-to-clean surface makes it particularly suitable for winter conditions. The shoe's construction offers a balance of style and practicality, making it a functional choice for everyday use.
The influence of the adidas Forum transcends its original basketball purpose, becoming a staple in street culture. The partnership with Jeremy Scott, which began in 2008 and was reignited in 2021, has had a profound effect on the sneaker landscape. Scott’s designs, like this 'Dipped' collection, have redefined fashion boundaries, with each release becoming a highly coveted statement, cementing the Forum's place in fashion history. The shoe's association with hip-hop and skating also significantly broadened its appeal.
This iteration features a retro high-top silhouette, crafted with a coated leather upper boasting a unique 'dipped' finish. The design includes a semi-translucent rubber cupsole and a patent leather-like tongue. The signature elements include the adjustable hook-and-loop strap and Jeremy Scott's portrait on the tongue.
