Black suede forms the upper, but the trims are what keep this pair from disappearing into itself. Oat, a pale grain colour, sits on the Three Stripes and through the lining, and Off White finishes the midsole and the lace hardware, so the shoe has a warm outline rather than a hard white one. Suede in black is a practical choice as well as a visual one: it does not crease the way smooth leather does, and it hides marks.
Puffed is one of the cuts adidas added to the Forum range for 2025, sitting alongside the 84, CL, ADV and Bold versions of a shoe that started life in 1984 as a basketball model. This pair released on Valentine's Day, 14 February 2025, at 120 dollars, priced above the standard leather low-top. The strap and the crossed overlay it threads through are carried over, and the cupsole keeps its wedge heel. It also came out alongside an off-white and dark brown version of the same build, giving the tier a light option and a dark one on the same day.
