As part of the Adidas Originals Five Two-3 Project, Adidas invited 5 influential global fashion brands to collaborate on various Adidas models. For the Forum Mid, Adidas enlisted the menswear brand Nom De Guerre who’s ideology stems from the repression of ones identity in order to operate as a collective. Taking design cues and functionality from the United States Military jungle boot such as waxed laces and a zipper enclosure, Nom De Guerre also transformed the Forum’s ankle strap to resemble war hospital gauze bandaging. The sole serves as an homage to the countless hours spent on target training. The final product, is a multi-facited shoe which is able to withstand various climates and terrain.

The Nom De Guerre x Adidas Originals Forum Mid is available now both in-store and online. For more info, select the pictures above, or call/email us at 1.516.632.5150/extrabutterny@gmail.com.
