The new adidas Originals and Brain Dead drop is a retro tennis dream

After warming up their engines with their first drop in the Stan Smith, Brain Dead and adidas Originals join forces again this SS25. But this time, the move goes further: theirs is no longer just a collaboration, but a style statement within the Brain Dead universe. The perfect excuse to bring their aesthetic to adidas’ retro sports DNA.

The focus of the launch is on the comeback of the Forest Hills, that OG silhouette from the 70s that in its day was the lightest thing you could wear to tear it up on the court. Now, it’s back, reimagined under the Brain Dead aesthetic. The result? Two versions: one in cream with brown accents, rubber sole and stripes in yellow, green and navy; the other, darker, in total black with cream details and matching sole.

The collection expands with a ready-to-wear line that looks like something out of a psychedelic tournament: polo shirts, tracksuits, shorts, T-shirts, crewnecks… All in a vibrant mix of greens, blues and yellows, with graphics and cuts that reinterpret the classic tennis uniform under the mutant and unorthodox vision of Brain Dead.
