FAQs
What is the primary material of the shoe's upper?
While the `material_clothing` attribute is 'Leather', the visible upper of this specific model is crafted from a unique textured black material, described as likely faux fur or bouclé, made from textile and synthetic materials.
Are these shoes suitable for running or sports?
No, despite the 'Forest Hills' heritage as a tennis shoe, this particular adidas x Brain Dead collaboration model is primarily designed for casual wear and fashion, not for athletic performance or intense sports.
How should I clean the textured black upper?
The textured textile and synthetic upper should be spot cleaned gently with a soft brush or damp cloth using a mild, diluted cleaner. Avoid soaking or using harsh chemicals, and allow to air dry naturally.
Do these shoes fit true to size?
Generally, adidas sneakers tend to fit true to size. We recommend trying them on if possible or referring to adidas's standard sizing guide. This specific variant is UK 11 for adults.
What makes this collaboration unique?
The adidas x Brain Dead collaboration brings together adidas's classic designs with Brain Dead's distinctive, often psychedelic and artistic aesthetic. This results in bold material choices, unique color combinations, and subtle branding that reinterprets a classic silhouette in a fresh, artistic way.
Troubleshooting
Textured upper appears matted or dull
Gently brush the textured area with a very soft, dry brush to help restore its texture. Avoid aggressive scrubbing which can damage the material.
Stubborn stains on the textured material
For tougher stains, use a specialized textile or synthetic material cleaner, testing on an inconspicuous area first. Follow the product instructions carefully and apply sparingly with a clean cloth.
Squeaking sound when walking
This can sometimes be caused by moisture between the insole and the shoe's base. Try removing the insoles and sprinkling a small amount of baby powder or cornstarch inside the shoe, then reinsert the insoles.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Care
Proper care is essential to maintain the unique appearance of your adidas Forest Hills. Given the primary `material_clothing` is Leather as per attributes, but the `upper` features a textured black textile and synthetic material (likely faux fur or bouclé), care involves a multi-faceted approach:
- General Cleaning: For light dirt, gently wipe the rubber outsole and any smooth leather sections with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Textured Upper Care: The unique textured textile/synthetic upper requires particular attention.
- Spot Cleaning: For small marks, use a soft-bristled brush (like a soft toothbrush) or a clean, damp cloth with a tiny amount of mild, diluted fabric cleaner. Gently blot or brush the affected area.
- Avoid Saturation: Do not soak the shoes or use excessive water on the textured material, as this can damage its integrity and appearance.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or heat sources. Stuff with paper towels to help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
- Laces: Remove laces and hand wash them with mild soap and water, then air dry.
- Storage: Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape and prevent creasing.
