The Forum Mid is a sneaker that initially made waves on the
basketball court in 1984 and a year on from its 25th anniversary
the shoe is still as sought after as it was when it first dropped,
complete with its $100 price tag, over two decades ago.
This contemporary version is the result of a re-imagining of
the classic between Crooked Tongues and VA, and highlights everything
that made the model great in the first place including the forefoot
strap, unique shape of the toe box and webbing on the instep
of the midsole.
On top of the traditional elements, the Crooked and VA crews,
both fans of the Forum, had the chance to add improvements, most
noticeably a small stud button to help the foot strap from slipping,
which is CT branded on the left shoe and VA on the right. Also
included are three lace flips, namely, Ice Grey, Electricity
and the two colours combined giving enough wearability choices
to keep even the most jaded fan happy.
Featuring a combination leather and synthetic upper in an ice
Grey colourway with electric Lime Green 3-Stripes, Trefoil and
contrast stitching on the outsole, the shoe looks like being
one of the highlights of the upcoming season and is certainly
one of the more memorable takes on the Forum in some time.
