Forest Hills x Brain Dead – Core Black/Pantone-Branch

LA label Brain Dead continues their blossoming collaborative partnership with adidas on a new extensive collection of footwear and apparel, which includes the Forest Hills. These classic tennis shoes receive an equally idiosyncratic Brain Dead treatment in its penchant for muted tones with a slap of richly textured materials.

In typical BD fashion, fuzzy suede is the prevailing feature of these Forest Hills, appearing on the majority of the upper – right down to the toe bumper. The three stripes on the sides are colour matched with the apparel while additional contrast comes via the ankle tab and eye stays. Some additional fuzziness comes by way of the pre-frayed laces that have become a calling card for BD sneaker collabs. The circa 1976 design receiving this collaboration push could signal big things to come for the model ahead of its 50th anniversary, so get in ahead of the curve.
