FAQs

How do I best clean the hairy suede material?

Regularly brush the suede with a soft suede brush to remove dirt. For stains, use a specialized suede cleaner and eraser, following product instructions carefully. Always allow the shoes to air dry completely.

Are these shoes water-resistant?

No, suede is not naturally water-resistant. It's highly recommended to treat the shoes with a protective suede spray before wearing them, especially in damp conditions, to help repel water and prevent stains.

Are the adidas Forest Hills true to size?

Adidas sneakers generally fit true to size for most individuals. However, for the best fit, it's always advisable to consult an adidas size guide or try them on if possible.

Can these sneakers be worn for athletic activities?

These sneakers are designed for casual wear, comfort, and style, not for high-performance athletic activities like running or intense sports. Their construction is optimized for daily urban use.

What is the significance of the 'Brain Dead' co-branding?

The 'Brain Dead' co-branding signifies a special collaboration between adidas and Brain Dead, an artistic collective known for its subversive graphics and unique aesthetic. This collaboration brings a distinct, edgy design to the classic Forest Hills silhouette.

How can I maintain the vibrant green accents?

The green accents are embroidered or part of the material. Keep them clean by gently wiping with a damp cloth if they become dirty. Avoid harsh chemicals that might affect their color or material.

Troubleshooting

Suede looks dull or matted down.

Use a dedicated suede brush to gently brush the nap of the suede in one direction. This helps lift the fibers and restore its original texture and vibrancy.

Visible scuffs or light stains on the suede.

For minor scuffs, use a suede eraser (often found in suede cleaning kits) to gently rub away the mark. For light stains, apply a small amount of specialized suede cleaner with a clean cloth, dabbing gently, then brush after drying.

Shoes feel less supportive over time.

While the EVA midsole is durable, comfort can change with extensive wear. If the insoles are removable, consider replacing them with new, supportive insoles for renewed cushioning and arch support.

  • Enhanced comfort from the cushioned EVA midsole
  • Durable construction suitable for daily wear

Cons

  • Suede material requires careful and consistent maintenance

These sneakers require no special 'setup' beyond lacing them to your preferred tightness. For compatibility, their classic silhouette with a modern twist makes them highly versatile.

Care Instructions

  • Cleaning Suede: Regularly brush the hairy suede uppers with a soft-bristle suede brush to remove loose dirt and restore the nap. For tougher marks or stains, use a specialized suede cleaner following the product's instructions.
  • Water Protection: Suede is sensitive to water. Apply a high-quality suede protector spray to create a barrier against moisture and stains. Reapply periodically, especially after cleaning.
  • Storage: Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Use shoe trees to help maintain their shape and absorb moisture if worn frequently.
  • Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the suede.
