Adidas Forum 84 Low ADV "Chalk White": Review & On-Feet

[@mikeljohnp]

It's the year of the forums 🔥🔥🔥

[@LeBeautiful]

Best retros of 2021!? these are super clean

[@ralphtumpang6727]

These might be the one to bring me back to Adidas

[@sawantsingh6153]

Nicer than so many Nike Dunk silhouettes

[@ospr88n21]

the dunk is nice because of the simplicity but these are great as well

[@ioannisfugazi6952]

Picked the black ones up a month ago from my local skate shop and the quality is even better in person. Not for everyone and I am super thankful for that.

[@JashAnon]

I’m a hardcore street skater, I had one of these a couple weeks ago and I still do! I just bought 3 more before they go out of stock!! Way better than the SB dunks if I’m being realistic ☺️

[@Weebay_213]

Love the simplesness of these adidas classics

[@TalksWithTJ]

Agree with the other comments, they look way better in quality than standard Nike Dunk Lows we're seeing. I have 2 forum lows now with the traditional strap and love them but very interested in these. Heading to GOAT to eventually get a pair. Great video.

[@SeanGo]

Thanks :D

[@ntc3337]

Just got mine in the post today, love them. Not a fan of the velcro strap on the regular Forums so delighted that this version has come out. I was a bit worried about sizing but I went true to size and they fit great!

[@mf0u3021]

Forum/mids are my favourite shoe of all time. I have 12 pairs, a few retired and falling apart. Re sizing: These run a half-size smaller than all my other forums. My 8.5 in these fit exactly like my 8’s. I usually half size up for width, as the toebox is narrow and pretty much unbreakable on forums. I need a full size up in these. Also worth mentioning, the tongue is elasticated (like most skate shoes), so they still fit relatively well with looser laces. Some of the new forums have removable straps. Look out for loops on both sides of the shoe, that means it isn’t stitched in and is removable.

[@emidussau]

Hi Ron. I'm about to buy the forum high orbit grey but not very sure of the size. I'm about 9.5 us on Nike and I red that you should go half size down on Adidas to get the fit of 9.5 I usually buy on Nike. It's that true? You know i have an Adidas AR trainer model and I had to go with size 8 uk ( 8.5 usa) because my real size (9.5 usa) was not getting even close to my feet, they ran to big. So that's my doubt 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@mf0u3021]

@@emidussau yeah I’ve got the orbit grey lows in us9, and they fit about the same as my jordan us9.5.

[@6ix835]

solid review & stellar visuals as usual sean! great pickup

[@DylanLey]

Clean colorway on such an underrated silhouette!

[@MrRoda8143]

Just like the straps on the Nike Air Force 1 high, I'm not crazy about them but it merely serves as an identifying feature that's not essential if they're strictly worn for casual use. The shoe looks so much better without it. And great review as always! I found the background music so appropriate for this shoe for some reason.

[@martmeister]

Just scooped up a pair on Zappos of all places. Couldn't find these anywhere else. Appreciate the detailed review.

[@anthonyromero6024]

Same bro! I ordered on Friday and just got them today! Now they sold out from Zappos. In loving them

[@IntuitiveDesigns]

where to cop these? I cant find em anywhere

[@dbluntson5243]

I was very skeptical of the strap. I did not like it at first. After wearing the cloud white lows a few times I can't see the shoe without it. I rock them with the strap open. This pair here looks nice. I just copped the Orbit Grey lows from Adidas' recent restock, so coping this pair would seem too redundant.

[@paw7582]

Wasn't sure about the 84 lows with the strap until I got them in hand...and it looks much better... you can hide the laces under the strap and get a very clean looking shoe...Great review again Sean

[@ming2276]

my nike size us8. but i never but some adidas shoes. if i buy this. what size can i get? bcs different shoes different size right

[@kilipaki87oritahiti]

Not symmetrical at the front too part of the shoe were the laces begins. Had the same issue on both my forum lows in black and white which also has removable straps. Sent them back and no waiting for a new pair to see if they are equally defect.

[@K9Manhunters]

I love the forums! And this gum sole! Great review! I don't mind the strap, especially on the Highs. And the blue threads are so beautiful!

[@cesara.mendoza4617]

2021... Adidas Forum!!! 🔥💥

[@ninjaomer86]

There is a version in black suede, but there is no padding. Should I order half a size smaller than usual?

[@StevenDe814]

Simple, Classic, Clean. thanks Sean

[@SeanGo]

🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@DankPlankSam]

Just got my first pair through the post today. Instant comfort 👌🏻

[@AJ-nz3rq]

Where can I buy these? All I can find are the ones with straps

[@Orich123]

A great shoe for people to move on from the dunk hype, give the GRs some love too yall

[@igorvsilva]

Great video. Your review helped me a lot. Just bought a pair of them on the Adidas website.

[@SeanGo]

Glad I could help

[@row_chee1385]

Another solid review love the forum 84 it’s like adidas’s Jordan 1 / dunk

[@owen7185]

ADV are all skateboard shoes, however you're not really to know because they mix SB shoes with the rest of the Originals shoes

[@CaliKiid714]

Those Neutral Grey Forum 84s recently caught my attention, but I too am not the biggest fan of the strap. These are super tempting, but I already have like 10 White/Cream leather shoes 💀

[@freekicker1999]

Copped em 💪🏽😍 Great Review man 📈🚀

[@Brandonforever21608]

Cant wait to rock these. Found them on Amazon 👌

[@sobad393]

what's the difference between this and the forum low classic?

[@bigjrob22M]

Very nice bud, they great on feet especially with the fresh clean white socks. Great review.

[@thetrickisirarelyrespond5945]

Super late to the party on these Forums, as I am to your video...I just got a UK 9.5 in these. Since it'd been years since I wore Forums, I couldn't remember if they ran narrow or if I was imagining that the foot bridge was tight. Anyway I'm usually a UK9, but UK9.5 was all that was available so fingers crossed, I ordered them. Strange results. Outwardly they look a little too big, especially looking down at that wide toebox, _but_ because of that strapping on the tongue, the bridge feels snug and there's no heel slip as I'd expect there to be going up half a size in most lows. ..and if it wasn't obvious, the mix, shades and quality of the materials is absolute 🔥 Feel great, look big, my usual 9 would've been perfect- but now I have a bit of a dilemma, as a year since release this model is nigh on impossible to get your hands on so I'm reluctant to return them big as they are.

[@dahlei]

now they just need a high top forum without the strap lol

[@SeanGo]

Hahaha right?

[@w4llst3r37]

you can remove the strap offthe normal forum

[@dfunkwilly3305]

Clean colour way. Definitely an underrated shoe. Great video as always Sean! 👍

[@robertolopez2282]

Grande bro amo tus vídeos

[@damienlahoz]

thinking of removing the straps on the cloud white lows i have.

[@PS-lv1mr]

Do these have an elevated heel? Or is the front of the foot the same height as the heel? (zero-drop).

[@g.a.b6098]

They quality look amazing on these, especially when you compare them to 2021 dunks

[@slowhorsen]

Is there a tongue strap on the shoe tongue?

[@SeanGo]

You mean to hold the tongue down?

[@slowhorsen]

@@SeanGo Yes sir .that thing keeping shoe tongue sliding around

[@6ix835]

@@slowhorsen it's called a gusseted tongue. many skate shoes have this feature to keep tongue in place (esp while doing tricks). you see this in hiking & all-weather type footwear as well to keep elements out. it can effect sizing esp for those w/ high arches

[@ianturnbow7011]

@@6ix835 not all shoes with internal elastic bands are gusseted. Most skate shoes will only feature a set of elastic bands on the medial and lateral innards. Gusseted tongues are entirely stitched to the sides of the shoe to prevent water, dust, and whatever else out of the inside of the shoe. As you said, popular in specific boots.

[@audiandc2295]

Are these chunky or just like nike sb's?

[@chh7681]

where can i buy these?

[@jwillautoblog]

Don't hate on the strap Sean! Hahaha But seriously, the Forum 84 quality is top notch and definitely is better than most shoes $50-80 more!

[@rjd9570]

Will buy soon 🔥🔥🔥

[@BoldenFMA]

Just copped both the Chalk White and the Black 💯

[@redherring4119]

Awesome vid as usual. Compared with dunks, how do they feel sizing wise? I'm a size 14 and I'm not sure adidas 14s will fit the same.

[@SeanGo]

I’m a 10 in these and Nike Sportswear Dunks

[@Bobbyross1872]

Is it wider than normal Forums? I have a wide feet, just wanted to know before buying it.

[@SeanGo]

Fits the same as other forums imo

[@jonclark1113]

Plain simplicity is a good feature of this shoe. Looks more like a tennis trainer I think. Like off white sole. Dellinger Web I love. Gum sole nice. Yeah decent addition. 👌👍

[@Wladislav]

Never liked the toe box shape of these, but the strap is great. Adidas did well by the recent Forum 84 reissues.

[@derektale6383]

Yooo i hate the strap, these are clean, if a blue and cream version comes out, i gotta cop

[@lookingfortim]

Strap is practical for sports. Provides lockdown to help pivoting.

[@SeanGo]

I doubt many are wearing Forums for sports these days but yes back in the day definitely lol

[@tehbeautifulman]

Just copped the black ones from ccs for 86 dollars.

[@JordanaltX92]

Ima cop the all blacks 🔥

[@JapanLovers]

The straps are not a big deal. You can remove them if you don’t like. I actually prefer them though

[@VGYugo]

How do they compare in size to the Forum 84 highs???

[@SeanGo]

Same to me

[@Anna-tb5fq]

wow that was super informative thankyou :)

Great video!!! Thanks for sharing. I need to have this one. I do not know why Nike and Jordan can have these kind of material in sneakers. Especially with the high retail price that they have...

Oh shit these are clean as hell

Hi Sean, what pants are you wearing?

[@kinderwaff]

I think the strap on low tops is kinda pointless, but it's great on high tops

[@tharansanjath1592]

Great video man. But ive heard that the cushion is a little thicker in this model comparing to the regular forum 84 hi/low and should i go half size bigger than regular forum? Anyway keep up the good works!

[@SeanGo]

I went with the same size for both. They feel similar, maybe these are a touch more snug but wasn’t that big of a different in my opinion

[@tharansanjath1592]

Thanks for the info man! Btw great way by providing size references of other shoe models too.

[@hgr.7857]

All my shoe-tubers say the quality & materials on these are outstanding. Adidas out-retro'ed Nike/Jordan. The materials on AJ1s do not justify the price, esp resell. Ppl just paying for hype. I'm in on some wht/green lows w/ strap. I like straps... AF1 highs, Bo Jackson trainers, Jordan legacy 372 or whatever, Barkley Air Force Max 180...

[@madrush24]

I'm curious. Is it pronounced "tree-foil" or "trey-foil"?

[@SeanGo]

Good question lmao

the strap is okay on the highs, but a no on the lows.
