Brain Dead, the creative collective led by Kyle Ng, is back with another bold adidas collaboration. This time, they’ve reimagined the classic adidas Forest Hills just in time for spring 2025. First launched in 1976, the Forest Hills honors the famous New York neighborhood, home of the U.S. Open. Brain Dead brings its signature unconventional style to this iconic tennis silhouette.
The Brain Dead x adidas Forest Hills “Violet Tone” features a dark green shaggy suede upper, giving it a rich, textured look. Off-white leather stripes, laces, and lining add a vintage contrast to the bold upper. Metallic gold “Brain Dead” branding replaces the traditional text, offering a fresh update. Burgundy accents on the heel and laceguards deepen the design, while green details on the tongue and insoles enhance its unique look. A sleek ‘Core Black’ sole finishes the sneaker with a modern touch.
This collaboration follows Brain Dead’s previous work with adidas, including their unique spin on the Stan Smith. Known for bold materials and standout branding, these releases highlight Brain Dead’s creative approach to classic models.
