Ronnie Fieg founded Kith in New York in 2011, and green has been the label's signature colour almost since the start, so a white and green Forum Low is close to the most on-brand shoe it could have made. This pair, released under the Classics Program on 19 September 2022 at 120 dollars, uses white leather for the body and green for the serrated Three Stripes, the heel detailing and the branding, keeping the contrast sharp rather than tonal.
What is notable is how little else changed. Where most Forum collaborations restructure the shoe, adding tongues, buckles or oversized soles, this one leaves the basketball architecture alone: the ankle strap, the X-shaped overlay, the wide quarter panel and the wedge-heeled cupsole all sit where adidas put them in 1984. The work is in material quality and colour discipline. At 120 dollars it was priced only twenty above a standard leather Forum Low, which for a collaboration of that period was unusually restrained, and the white-and-green scheme has proved far more wearable than the era's graphic-heavy releases.
