Those 86s are super clean, I’ve had my forum advs without the straps for a bit now and they’re still going so idk if I’d grab one now but it’s nice to have them around
i like the lows of both, i'd opt for the rivalry due to not having the strap...but, every company essentially makes the same type of shoe now, so i'll always just grab the cheapest since they all somewhat serve the same purpose
I'm sorry! I meant to say the Nike Legend. The Terminator, in Georgetown colors, came out shortly after when Nike went with, "True to your school". The cool ad campaign for the Nike Dunks. The Terminator was included in the add. As this shoe was for the Georgetown Hoyas basketball team. The college actually had Hoyas printed on the back of the shoe instead of Nike.
@@JorgeLourenco000I agree, I'm not a sneaker head by any means but I appreciate quality shoes and have 20 ish pairs, and it appears the color way is just very meh
Prefer the look of the Forum 84 Low to the Rivalry 86 Low (or high top for that matter). It’s a personal preference but just love all the details of the Forum and even dig the strap because it makes it different to everything else out there. Forum feels like the closest to a Jordan 1 alternative, much cheaper, easier to get hold of and not gonna lie, I’m an adidas fanboy so that suits me down to the ground.
I'm a huge fan of Adidas Basketball shoes, I have the Hitop version of the rivalry lows you have in this video and I love them! Here in the UK on the confirmed app they have Conducter Hi's and Attitude Hi's which are very similar to the Rivalry Hi's but have a couple more elements familiar to the Forums and the Centennial 85's which I'm tempted to cop but I'm going to hold off and hope they go on sale at a later date
How is the sizing with the Rivalry? I have a pair and it is so uncomfortable on the toe box, but I would like to buy another in the future and maybe size up
Just got the Rivalry 86 recently. I prefer it more than the Forums and materials are more to my liking. Best of all copped at 30% discount. I hope they do more colors and collabs.
I copped a pair of the Rivalry hi Boost on sale, and they are legit one of the most comfortable things I have ever put on feet. Shame they discontinued that line.
People were absolutely wearing these shoes while playing ball, Jr High, High School, College, and Pro level! I remember my friend buying a pair of Forum high tops. I was so jealous when he got them. In my opinion, the Forum are the best shoes Adidas ever made. I was still wearing Adidas Top Tens then. Which were hugely popular before the Forums. I'm of course a Forum fan. The originals, sued wasn't an option. It always had metal eyelets. Leather wrap design of shoe is completely different from the Rivalry. It had the lateral hard plastic cup to prevent ankle rolling. And lastly the Forum had the Dellinger web. Which meant you were wearing a premium Adidas shoe! People always forget to mention the Nike Terminators! After the Air Force Ones, the Terminators were next in line for the masses to buy. Then the Dunks came out. When the Rivalry and Conductor came out, I feel as though Adidas was starting to lose its luster. I know I did. I was more interested in what Nike was bringing out. Air Jordan 1's started to change peoples(kids) perspective. Also, Michael Jordan was an Adidas guy. In college he had to wear Converse. I remember him, James Worthy, and Kenny Smith wearing the All Star leather Ox high tops, Dr J classics, for North Carolina. When Jordan was working out a shoe deal. He approached Adidas after Nike's proposal. He said come close to what Nike was offering him and he'd be an Adidas guy. Fortunately for Nike they didn't think he was tall enough like Kareem, and they really weren't wanting to invest more into NBA players. Lastly, interesting the current generation is all about the low tops? No way does the Air Force I, Dunk, Forum, or Rivalry have the same effect as the high top. Guess I'm just old school......
The Rivalry was always superior. And it better be next in the spotlight after the attention for the Sambas wanes, as people are starting to find out that it's a narrow footed shoe. Making it unbearable to wear for normal footed people.
The grey low 86 are by far the best imo.. they look and feel premium. ALso, the forum low model has a huge and super wide tongue and just feels bit chunky for my taste
would you do a review of forums premium, I grabed them lastly and would love to see a comprasion cause they're supposed to have more and better leather etc. but I never had "lower tier" version to see for ms
The rivalry lows are really awful to wear, they are uncomfortable, the front of the shoe is teal pain for your toe and the back comes off easily even if you go true to size. So don’t just check the looks. The Forum lows on the other end are better in terms of comfort and they are also good looking. The white on white especially is a great Forum low.
Anyone know how these run sizewise? On every shoe I own, I'm a true 10.5, but on the only pair of forums that I own, I had to size down to a 10, the 10.5 was too big.

The Forum is one my most beloved models, so much Panels and Material-Styles but also sleek looking. A Massterpiece!
Dude... I haven't seen you in years. It's good to know that one of the guys who started it all is still around.
i like the lows of both, i'd opt for the rivalry due to not having the strap...but, every company essentially makes the same type of shoe now, so i'll always just grab the cheapest since they all somewhat serve the same purpose
The air Jordan 1 and the Nike dunk were both Nikes take on the adidas forum shoe, which used to me Michael Jordan’s favorite shoe
I have the Forum lows x Wood Wood and those are really nice so I am interested in these Rivalry 86s! Thank you for featuring this in your channel
wood wood is esentially a adidas lendl
I love both of these…I played ball in the white/red Rivalry highs back in middle school…I wish they would retro the Brougham’s that RUN DMC wore

The 86 vintage yellowing is too much. I think the concept of pre-aging sneakers will be looked back upon as completely ridiculous .
I agree. Hypebeasts ruined everything
I agree with you, but I don't know if it was the idea in this pair. I think It was just a poorly color pick.
@@JorgeLourenco000I agree, I'm not a sneaker head by any means but I appreciate quality shoes and have 20 ish pairs, and it appears the color way is just very meh
Only thing that’s completely ridiculous is your attitude…
@@macysondheimbruh he just said his own opinion, what is ur problem
Love both silhouettes in Highs or lows! Waiting for the rivalry highs to go on sale locally.
Yeah Rivalry Hi's are nice. I have the premium lows. Made with real leather.
I had the 86 high back in the day as my basketball shoes. Amazing looking shoes.
Got tired with all the Nikes and Jordans reviews. Thanks for this review. Really appreciate this
I remember the Beastie Boys and MC Shy D wearing the rivalry way back in 1986.

The quality on the rivalrys are fantastic!

I think the silhouette is slightly better but the Forums are definitely more comfy
Copped my second pair of Forums today! Love them

Rivalry low 86 rules!
I like the aged look of the forum better the rivalry is a little to yellow for me
What's the best size?

I bought a pair of addidas red strips mid forum for $30 very good deal 👍
I got the hightop rivalry with the french tricolor, the materiel is top
Forums all day. The rivalry is pretty nice, but I don't see myself choosing that over a forum if the colorway is similar.
Those 86s are sick but could not finde that color way in the adidas website 😢
you should do a forum luxe review. the sleekest basketball sneaker adidas has
yo the 86’s looks great!!
Parece que el forum es un poco mas largo que el rivarly?
The Rivalry was always superior.
And it better be next in the spotlight after the attention for the Sambas wanes, as people are starting to find out that it's a narrow footed shoe. Making it unbearable to wear for normal footed people.
If the make it Ewing again they would really sell !!!
Rivalry 86 look like those that Eddie Murphy was wearing in Beverly Hills Cop II.
The grey low 86 are by far the best imo.. they look and feel premium. ALso, the forum low model has a huge and super wide tongue and just feels bit chunky for my taste
rivalry definitely for me.. about time adidas focused on it
would you do a review of forums premium, I grabed them lastly and would love to see a comprasion cause they're supposed to have more and better leather etc. but I never had "lower tier" version to see for ms
110?! You're joke is pretty good. LMAO
Which one more comfort?

So don’t just check the looks. The Forum lows on the other end are better in terms of comfort and they are also good looking. The white on white especially is a great Forum low.
Hello, those rivalry are tru to size ?
Wish it had boost sole
If only they have a insole like the 550s. Ill buy them. But theyre stiff as a board,i hate it
both shoe are awesome!
I have had rivalry high with boost,😅
Hows the fit? Tts?
Looks are better on the 84s for me, but comfort are on the 86s in my opinion
I really like these shoes a lot 🕺🕺👟👟
Love me some rivalry lows
The aged look appears more natural on the Forums.
Anyone know how these run sizewise? On every shoe I own, I'm a true 10.5, but on the only pair of forums that I own, I had to size down to a 10, the 10.5 was too big.
Same size as the Forums.
I tried them on. Size 11. Tight on the toes. Gonna exchange them for 11.5
@@bryancasco7270 YES BRO THEY FIT ME BIT TIGHT ON MY TOES 😭 i’m a size 9 i should of sized up for a 9.5
TTS forums, 0.5 Up Rivalry low
It's like airforce.just l10 times better
84!
Forum was done way more tastefully.
No sizing info smh
Forums don’t fit me that well so they are a no go.
Rivalry
The back of the 84's look like a butt, they should have covered that stitching with a panel IMO
Fitting is terrible
Nike ain’t great at it but adidas is soooo bad at trying do the aged look
Can you do a review of Nike Air Zoom G.T. Jump for casual wear? Bc the design is sick, but i don't play basketball
