adidas presents yet another tonal iteration of the Forum 84 High sneaker model for the season by introducing the Team Dark Green colorway palette to its roster. The retro sneaker model stems from the 80s and is a prominent silhouette on the basketball courts and the streets.
The base foundation of the shoe features an off-white tone to give it a worn-in aesthetic and it is made from premium leather materials throughout the upper. The shoes are then contrasted with suede at the heel counter and the Three Stripes branding. Additional branding can be seen stamped in gold on the lateral side of the midfoot section. It is rounded out by a top strap that wraps around the laces.
