Adidas Forum Mid "White/Royal" Sneakers

Part of adidas's Forum line. This release has the Footwear White/Collegiate Royal/Footwear White colourway. The Forum arrived from adidas basketball in 1984, built with an ankle strap and a raised collar so a foot could be locked down through hard lateral movement. That was the era when adidas basketball still carried the momentum of the Superstar, the shoe that by 1973 was reportedly on the feet of more than 75 percent of NBA players. The Mid is the version that keeps the ankle coverage without going full high top, the middle ground the model is arguably best in. White with royal blue is the most straightforwardly collegiate way to state it: a clean base with a single saturated accent, the kind of pairing that reads as a team colour without belonging to a team. Style code FY4976.
