Green and gum are the two decisions here. A Cloud White suede upper handles the bulk, green fills the serrated Three Stripes and the heel tab, and the outsole is gum rubber, which warms the shoe from underneath and keeps the white from looking clinical. Suede on a junior pair is a step up from the synthetic adidas uses on its cheapest kids Forums, and it changes the texture of the white noticeably.
It reached shelves on 9 August 2023 at 70 dollars, the low end of the Forum ladder and timed for the back-to-school run. Grade-school sizing keeps the full adult feature set: the hook-and-loop ankle strap, the X overlay behind it, the perforated toe box and the cupsole with its wedge heel. Green is a colour adidas uses sparingly on this model, which is part of why the pair stands out against the wall of white-on-white kids shoes it was sold next to. Gum will mark faster than a white outsole, but it also hides scuffing better, which is a sensible trade on footwear built for eight-year-olds.
