M&M's works in collaboration with adidas Originals on a new collection spotlighting the Forum Low 84 sneaker model in three new colorways. The duo unveiled the bright yellow iteration and now follows with Orange, Green, and a Dark Brown.
The retro silhouette is ready for casual outings or for the basketball court as the shoes have a Cloud White leather base foundation before it is adorned with colored paneling. This can be found around the collars and the grooved branding in the Three Stripes by the side to imitate the look of the candy bag edges. Additionally, there is branding nodding to the M&M's logo on the lateral side and a perforated 'm' by the toe box.
