The Brain Dead x adidas Forest Hills “Cream White” revives a ’70s tennis icon with a wild, left-field twist. What started life on the hard courts of Queens, New York in 1976 now returns with Brain Dead’s unmistakable experimental attitude. This isn’t just a throwback—it’s a remix.
Dressed in premium hairy suede from heel to toe, the upper comes in a soft cream tone that lets the bolder hits do the talking. Mismatched 3-Stripes in yellow, green, and navy bring energy to each sidewall, while brown leather eyestays and heel tabs break the palette with earthy contrast. Zig-zag stitching, fuzzy laces, and gold foil branding add character across the board, including co-branding hits on the tongue, sockliner, and heel.
The updated design still retains the Forest Hills’ signature DNA. That includes the sculpted rubber toe bumper and the durable cupsole. Underfoot, a full-length herringbone outsole with pivot circles keeps you steady whether you’re navigating city pavements or venue floors.
It’s a blend of court heritage and Brain Dead’s outsider vision—just the kind of collaboration that doesn’t shout but stands out. Perfect for those after something bold but grounded in adidas archive roots.
