Singapore-based sneaker retail imprint Limited Edt works in collaboration with adidas Originals on the new Singapore Forum sneaker model. It takes the Forum 84 Low silhouette as the base foundation of the shoe and simultaneously celebrates the look of retro basketball sneakers.
It has a colorway that blends together hues of original white with blue accents. In terms of the construction, the shoe has premium hair suede along with leather all throughout the upper and is complete with batik detailing. It has floral wax-resist in regards to the dyeing process and can be seen on the sock lining, the pattened laces, under the clear outsoles, and at the windows by the ankle straps to round it out.
