adidas Celebrates the Lakers and Bucks with New Forum '84s
References: sneakerpolitics & hypebeast
adidas Originals introduces two new tonal iterations of the Forum '84 High sneaker models that are inspired by two specific NBA teams. The brand highlights the Los Angeles Lakers and the Milwaukee Bucks this time around, honoring their team colors throughout the tonal palette.
Both of the shoes are designed in a similar tone in terms of the construction and application of hues. The overlaying details accent the toe boxes with creamy tones and the collar's wand straps are finished in crisp white color. The panels along the back are made from suede in a lighter grey -- all of this sets the tone before the themed team colors detail the rest of the shoe.
