adidas codes its smallest Forum sizes with an I, and this white leather pair sits at the bottom of that ladder, made for infant and toddler feet. The Save The Bees theme gives it a palette a plain kids shoe would not get: Cloud White across the upper, Blue Fusion for the brighter accents and a green that pulls the scheme away from the usual primary-colour treatment. It arrived on 19 February 2023 at 70 dollars.
At this size the ankle strap is not a styling detail, it is the closure, and the laces above it are largely decorative. That is a useful accident of history: the Forum was designed in 1984 with an adjustable strap for on-court stability, and four decades later the same part is what lets a two-year-old put the shoe on unaided. Leather keeps the white cleanable, which matters more here than anywhere else in the range. The cupsole is the same shape as the adult version, scaled down, with the wedge heel and the flat forefoot that make a Forum sit the way it does.
