Halo Blue is a pale, chalky shade, and putting it on suede rather than leather is what makes this women's mid-top work: the nap holds the colour softly and stops it from turning glossy or synthetic-looking. Cloud White runs through the serrated Three Stripes and the cupsole to keep the shoe bright, and Core Black is confined to the trims and branding, where it does just enough to define the edges of the panels.
It released on 23 January 2023 at 120 dollars. The mid height is the least common of the three Forum cuts in women's sizing, which by itself sets this pair apart from the low-tops that fill most of the range, and it gives the adjustable ankle strap a functional role rather than a decorative one. The cupsole keeps the wedge heel the model has had since 1984. Blue suede is among the hardest finishes to keep clean, but it is also the reason the shoe still looks distinct next to the dozens of white leather Forums released around the same time.
