adidas x Brain Dead Forest Hills Brain Dead (Cream White / Pantone / Night Red)

The adidas x Brain Dead Studios collaboration brings together two worlds: the iconic sportswear aesthetic of adidas and the unconventional, subcultural design language of Brain Dead Studios. The result is a collection that plays with classic adidas elements and reinterprets them with the creative, often surreal signature of Brain Dead.

Behind Brain Dead Studios are designer Kyle Ng from Los Angeles and Australian Ed Davis, two innovative designers with completely different cultural influences. It is precisely this mixture that makes their brand so exciting: between streetwear, art and experimental graphic design, looks are created that consciously avoid the mainstream and repeatedly break with expectations.

The adidas x Brain Dead Studios collab takes this creative energy and transfers it to legendary adidas silhouettes. The resulting designs are influenced by both the classic sports world and underground aesthetics. In typical Brain Dead fashion, colors, patterns and materials are combined in unexpected ways – often with a playful touch that reflects the brand's DNA.

The adidas x Brain Dead Studios collaboration goes far beyond fashion – it embodies a lifestyle that moves between skateboarding, music, film and street culture. adidas provides the functional basis, Brain Dead provides the rebellious attitude. Together, they have created a collection that makes a real statement for both sneakerheads and fans of progressive streetwear.

The adidas x Brain Dead Studios collab fuses sports and subculture into something completely new – uncompromisingly creative, extremely cool and just as mysterious as the designs of Brain Dead Studios themselves.

Based on the legendary 1970s tennis shoe called Forest Hills (the location of the US Open until 1977), adidas and Brain Dead Studios created a stylish remake with premium leather and a special finish plus comfortable smooth leather and a structured leather tongue on the inside. The beautiful old-school look remains pure and unadulterated in this colorway, not least thanks to the color-matching sole, while the adidas x Brain Dead Studios co-branding adds to the Forest Hills' special twist.
