adidas Forum

Origins on the Court

Basketball is intrinsic to the adidas Forum. So much so that the shoe debuted on the basketball court in 1984. However, its price of 100 dollars, unheard of at the time, quickly made the Forum a coveted symbol for the best players, artists, and local heroes around the world.

Although it premiered in 1984, it all started a year earlier. In 1983, the young designer Jacques Chassaing aimed to create the best basketball shoe in history. To do so, he studied the behaviour of the players on the court and realised something very interesting. Most of them, sooner or later, ended up suffering ankle injuries. This led to the idea of implementing an adjustable strap that would function like a bandage and provide stability. This is how the adidas Forum was born.
