The latest chapter of BSTN’s ongoing European Basketball Heritage Series, which started way back in late 2020, this collaboration with adidas is dedicated to two of the absolute powerhouses in European basketball history: Panathinaikos B.C., arguably the most decorated team in Europe and a record six-time EuroLeague champion, and Jugoplastika Split, the only team to ever win Europe’s premier competition three years in a row. Both sneakers pay homage to the team’s numerous titles as well as European basketball heritage as a whole.
The BSTN x adidas Forum ’84 Low is dedicated to Panathinaikos B.C. The sneaker comes embroidered with six stars that represent the team’s six EuroLeague titles. The sneaker is dedicated to PAO’s time as the kings of Europe and the heights the club and its fans aspire to reach again. Rocking the team’s colors, the Forum Low combines premium suede with the iconic green of Panathinaikos and also adds subtle hints at the team’s rich history by including marble elements on the outsole.
The BSTN x adidas Forum ’84 High is dedicated to Jugoplastika Split. This pair rocks the team’s colors which is Black and Yellow. The sneaker ties back to an era of dominance for Jugoplastika Split with a special loop label at the heel as well as team branding on the ankle. Packed with plenty of ‘Euro’ vibes, the high-top brings back memories of the legendary Gripe gym being filled to the brim and showcasing a game that was truly ahead of its time.
