adidas x Brain Dead Forest Hills - White - UK 7.5

Hairy suede refers to a type of suede leather where the fibers are left longer and more pronounced, giving it a distinctive textured, almost shaggy appearance compared to traditional, smoother suede.

Generally, adidas sneakers are considered true to size. However, fit can vary by individual foot shape. We recommend consulting the adidas official size guide if you are unsure, or trying them on if possible.

Suede is generally not ideal for wet conditions. While a good quality suede protector can offer some resistance, prolonged exposure to rain or heavy moisture should be avoided as it can stain, alter the texture, and potentially damage the material.

The original adidas Forest Hills sneaker, first released in 1976, was named after the Forest Hills tennis tournament held in Queens, New York, where it debuted. It's a nod to the shoe's rich tennis heritage.

Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading and material degradation. Using shoe trees can help maintain their original shape, and keeping them in their original box or a breathable shoe bag can protect them from dust.

The 'Night Red' accents are typically dyed into the material or applied as embroidery (as seen on co-branded motifs). They are an integral part of the design and not simply painted on.

Use a specialized suede brush to gently brush the nap in one direction. This helps to restore its natural texture and lift the hairs.

For dry dirt, use a suede brush. For more persistent marks, gently rub with a suede eraser. For deeper dirt, a damp, clean cloth with a small amount of specialized suede cleaner may be used, followed by air drying and brushing.

Ensure you've selected the correct UK size. Check if your socks are too thick or thin for your usual shoe size. Consider trying them on with different types of socks you typically wear. If the fit is consistently uncomfortable, consult a sizing chart or try a different size if possible.

Try a double knotting technique. You might also consider replacing the laces with ones that have a slightly different texture to improve grip.

This can sometimes be caused by friction between the insole and the shoe's interior. Try removing the insole and applying a thin layer of baby powder underneath. If the squeak persists, it might be due to the outsole, which usually resolves with more wear.
