These sneakers feature a luxe black hairy suede upper, leather overlays, a cushioned EVA midsole, and a durable rubber outsole. The tongue is made from Ecotex material.
For basic cleaning, use a suede brush to remove dirt. For stains, use a specialized suede cleaner and follow the product instructions. Always allow to air dry and use a suede protector spray for preventative care.
While the original Forest Hills was a tennis shoe, this collaborative version is designed for casual wear and fashion. We recommend them for lifestyle use rather than high-performance sports.
The 'Forest Hills' name originates from one of the biggest tennis tournaments held in Queens, New York, where the original silhouette first debuted in 1976.
The collaboration with Brain Dead introduces unique elements like co-branded logos, embroidered motifs, and subtle design cues that reflect Brain Dead's distinctive, rebellious aesthetic while maintaining the classic adidas silhouette.
Based on typical adidas sizing, these generally run true to size. If you are between sizes or have wider feet, consider checking a size guide or trying them on.
Due to the suede material, it is advisable to avoid wearing these sneakers in heavy rain or wet conditions. Suede can be prone to water damage and staining. Using a quality suede protector spray can offer some resistance.
Use a suede brush to gently restore the nap of the suede. Brush in small, consistent strokes in one direction.
Like many premium shoes, these may require a short break-in period. Wear them for shorter durations at first to allow the materials to conform to your feet.
Use a suede eraser (often found in suede care kits) to gently rub away superficial marks. Follow up with a suede brush.
Allow the sneakers to air dry completely at room temperature, away from direct heat. Once dry, use a suede brush to restore the texture and appearance. Consider applying a waterproofing spray regularly.
Setting up your adidas Forest Hills sneakers is straightforward: simply unbox them and they are ready to wear. No complex assembly or preparation is required.
These sneakers are designed for casual and street-style aesthetics. They pair well with a wide range of clothing, including jeans, chinos, shorts, and casual skirts or dresses.
