FAQs

What is the main material of the upper?

The upper of the adidas x Brain Dead Forest Hills Sneaker is crafted from premium hairy suede.

How should I clean the suede?

For best results, use a specialized suede brush for regular maintenance and a dedicated suede cleaning kit for deeper cleaning. Avoid exposing them to excessive water or harsh chemicals.

Are these suitable for running or sports?

While the original Forest Hills had tennis roots, this collaborative edition is designed primarily for casual wear and fashion purposes, not for athletic performance or intense sports activities.

What does the 'Brain Dead' collaboration add to the sneaker?

The Brain Dead collaboration introduces unique design elements such as co-branded logos, embroidered motifs, and a rebellious contemporary aesthetic, distinguishing it from standard adidas releases and reflecting Brain Dead's artistic vision.

Where does the name 'Forest Hills' come from?

The original adidas Forest Hills sneaker, first released in 1976, was named after being debuted at a major tennis tournament held in the Forest Hills neighborhood of Queens, New York.

Is the sizing true to size?

Generally, adidas sneakers tend to fit true to size. However, individual fit can vary. If unsure, it is often recommended to try them on or consult a size guide specific to adidas footwear.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears matted or flattened

Use a specialized suede brush to gently brush the nap back into place. Brush in one direction to restore the original texture.

Visible scuffs or dirt on the suede

For light marks, use a suede eraser. For more persistent dirt, a suede cleaning kit should be applied following the product's instructions. Avoid harsh scrubbing.

Sneakers feel stiff or uncomfortable initially

Allow for a natural break-in period. Wear them for short durations first to let the materials conform to your foot shape. Ensure the sizing is correct.

Laces constantly untie

Try a double knot or research different lacing techniques that offer more security, such as the 'surgeon's knot'.

Care Instructions

Due to the premium hairy suede upper, special care is essential to maintain the sneaker's appearance and longevity:

  1. Regular Cleaning: Gently brush the suede with a dedicated suede brush after each wear to remove loose dirt and dust. Brush in one direction to maintain the nap.
  2. Spot Cleaning: For minor stains, use a specialized suede eraser or a small amount of white vinegar dabbed onto a clean cloth. Lightly blot the stain, do not rub aggressively.
  3. Deep Cleaning: For more stubborn marks, use a high-quality suede cleaning kit. Follow the product instructions carefully, typically involving a cleaning solution and brush.
  4. Protection: Apply a suede protector spray before first wear and periodically thereafter. This helps repel water and stains.
  5. Drying: If the sneakers get wet, stuff them with paper towels to absorb moisture and maintain their shape. Allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight.
  6. Storage: Store sneakers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Consider using shoe trees to help them retain their shape.
  7. Avoid Water: Minimize exposure to heavy rain or prolonged moisture, as water can damage suede and leave permanent marks.
