adidas Originals works in collaboration with M&Ms on a special sneaker, detailing the Forum Low 84 sneaker model for the season. It is designed in a bright color palette that blends together Eqt Yellow, Dark Brown, and Cloud White across the upper.
The overall look of the sneaker is inspired by the peanut chocolate by M&M's and the bright yellow packaging. This bright hue makes up most of the upper in a premium leather material with the branded Three Stripes on the lateral side of the sneaker to look like chocolate bars. The rest of the shoe includes six extra laces, two straps, attachable details for a playful feel, and 20 lace jewels. There are also colorful lace locks, speech bubble-detailed M&M characters, and more.
