Brain Dead x adidas Forest Hills “Black” JR7942

Brain Dead puts its signature spin on a ’70s classic with the adidas Forest Hills “Black.” Part of a four-pair capsule, this collaboration brings a textured, earthy feel to the retro tennis silhouette—with plenty of Brain Dead quirk along the way.

The upper comes in shaggy black suede, including the toe bumper, which extends slightly for a more sculpted look. Beige 3-Stripes sit on the sides, paired with gold foil branding on the lateral panels. Green zigzag stitching and fuzzy brown laces add to the handcrafted feel, while co-branded logos on the tongue, heel, and sockliner lock in the partnership.

Brown leather accents on the eyestays and heel tab help round out the colour story. Underfoot, you’ve got a black rubber cupsole with herringbone traction and pivot circles, keeping the heritage tennis DNA intact.

This pair merges adidas heritage with Brain Dead’s design language in a way that feels both familiar and new.
