Chalk White and Cloud White are close enough that most people will call this a white shoe and leave it there, but the difference is visible in person: the Chalk leather on the upper is a touch flatter and warmer, while the Cloud White sole and serrated Three Stripes sit brighter and cooler. That small separation is what stops the pair from collapsing into a single flat surface the way a true triple white does.
It released on 18 June 2023 at 80 dollars in big kid sizing, the tier that shares an adult last but not an adult price. Leather is the material, which is more than the cheapest kids Forums get, and it makes the white cleanable rather than disposable. Strap, crossed side panel and raised-heel cupsole all come straight from the shoe adidas built for basketball in 1984, reduced in scale. Among the dozens of white Forums in the catalogue, the two-tone version is the one worth picking out, because the sole stays visibly cleaner-looking than the upper even after both have aged.
