FAQs

Are these sneakers suitable for running or sports?

No, while the original Forest Hills had tennis roots, this modern iteration is designed for casual wear and style, not for performance sports like running or playing tennis.

How do I protect the hairy suede from water damage?

It is highly recommended to apply a high-quality suede and nubuck protective spray before the first wear and reapply periodically. Avoid wearing them in wet conditions whenever possible.

What is the best way to clean the white suede?

Use a specialized suede brush for regular cleaning. For stains, a suede eraser or a dedicated suede cleaning kit is ideal. Always test any cleaning product on a small, hidden area first.

Do these sneakers run true to size?

Generally, adidas sneakers run true to size, but individual foot shapes can vary. We recommend trying them on to ensure the best fit. (Info needed: Specific fit guidance if available from adidas for this model).

Can I put these sneakers in a washing machine?

Absolutely not. Washing machines can severely damage the suede, adhesives, and overall structure of the sneakers. Always clean them by hand using appropriate suede care methods.

What is the significance of the Brain Dead collaboration?

The collaboration with Brain Dead infuses the classic Forest Hills silhouette with Brain Dead's unique, rebellious, and artistic design ethos, resulting in distinctive co-branding, embroidery, and material choices that set it apart.

What kind of socks should I wear with these?

No-show or low-cut socks are generally recommended to maintain the clean, low-profile aesthetic of the sneaker, especially during warmer weather. For colder seasons, crew socks that complement the shoe's color scheme can also work.

Troubleshooting

Suede looks flattened or matted

Gently brush the affected area with a suede brush in multiple directions to lift the nap. A suede eraser can also help rejuvenate the texture.

White suede appears dirty or discolored

For light dirt, use a suede brush. For deeper stains, use a specialized suede cleaning solution or eraser. Always follow product instructions and test on an inconspicuous area first. Avoid scrubbing aggressively.

Sneakers feel too tight or loose

Ensure you have the correct size. Adjust lacing by loosening or tightening it to achieve a comfortable, secure fit. Break-in period might be needed for a perfect fit with new shoes.

Squeaking sound when walking

This can sometimes occur from friction between the insole and the shoe's interior. Try removing the insole, dusting the inside of the shoe with talcum powder or baking soda, then reinserting the insole. If the sole itself squeaks, ensure it's dry and free of debris.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

These sneakers come ready to wear. Simply unbox, lace them up, and adjust for your desired fit. Ensure laces are tied securely but not too tightly to avoid discomfort during wear.

Compatibility

  • Apparel: The Crew White/Night Red colorway offers versatility. It pairs well with neutral tones (black, grey, navy, beige) or can complement outfits with red accents. Consider wearing them with cuffed denim, tailored trousers, or even smart-casual dresses for a fashionable contrast.
  • Occasion: Best suited for casual outings, city exploration, art events, and relaxed social gatherings. They are not ideal for formal settings, rigorous athletic activities, or heavy outdoor work.

Care Instructions

Proper care is crucial to maintain the premium look of your hairy suede sneakers:

  1. Initial Protection: Before first wear, apply a high-quality suede and nubuck protector spray. This creates a barrier against water and stains.
  2. Regular Cleaning: Use a dedicated suede brush to gently remove dirt and dust after each wear. Brush in one direction to maintain the nap.
  3. Spot Cleaning: For minor stains, use a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaning solution with a soft cloth. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
  4. Deep Cleaning: For tougher stains, consider a professional suede cleaning service.
  5. Avoid Water: Suede is highly susceptible to water damage. Avoid wearing these sneakers in rain or wet conditions. If they get wet, blot gently with a clean towel and let them air dry naturally away from direct heat.
  6. Storage: Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Use shoe trees or stuff them with acid-free paper to help maintain their shape.
  7. Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Never use harsh chemicals, detergents, or washing machines, as these can damage the suede and color.
