Brain Dead first joined forces with adidas last Summer, teaming up to create an ultra-limited edition bowling shoe. Now, they are back for their first project of 2025, which gives the Forest Hills a colorful shaggy suede makeover.
Los Angeles design brand Brain Dead has grown their arsenal of sneaker collaborations steadily over the last few years. They started with a handful of releases from Reebok with some Vans project sprinkled in, and debuted a new partnership with adidas last Summer through a specially-designed bowling shoe release. They followed with an assortment of Stan Smith styles, and now, they are teasing a new release for Spring 2025.
Brain Dead’s eclectic, colorful style returns to new adidas releases this season. This time around, they are adding their touch to the Forest Hills. The model originally released in 1976 and pays homage to the Forest Hills neighborhood of Queens, New York, home of a former US Open-hosting stadium. Brain Dead’s take on the model features a shaggy suede upper in a blue-teal mix, adding muted violet for the eyestays. Furry white laces cover an off-white tongue, with neon green branding to complete the look.
