FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for sports?
While based on a heritage performance series, the Forest Hills Brain Dead is primarily designed as a lifestyle and casual fashion sneaker.
How do these fit compared to standard adidas models?
They generally follow standard adidas sizing, fitting consistently with other sneakers in the Forest Hills series.
What is the best way to clean the material?
Use a soft-bristled brush for dry debris and a lightly dampened cloth for deeper cleaning. Avoid submerging the shoes in water.
Is the design unisex?
While this specific variant is listed for men, the overall Forest Hills aesthetic is widely considered gender-neutral in its appeal.
How long will the collaboration branding last?
With proper care—avoiding excessive moisture and harsh chemicals—the aesthetic details should remain intact throughout the normal lifespan of the shoe.
Troubleshooting
Footbed feels slightly stiff initially
The shoe may require a short 'break-in' period; wear them for shorter durations indoors before taking them for long outdoor walks.
Surface scuffing on the black upper
Use a black leather or suede-safe conditioning cream depending on the specific material finish of your pair to restore the color intensity.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
When you receive your pair, ensure you verify the size match, as these trainers run true to the standard adidas fit. Compatibility-wise, the black aesthetic is neutral, allowing them to complement everything from denim to technical streetwear. To maintain the condition of your trainers, clean them regularly by wiping down the exterior with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn debris, use a specialized sneaker brush to avoid damaging the finish. Avoid machine washing or using harsh chemical cleaners, as these can compromise the structural integrity and aesthetic details added by the Brain Dead collaboration.
