adidas Forest Hills - Black, Suede - JR7942

Hairy suede refers to a type of suede leather where the fibers are left slightly longer and more textured, giving it a 'hairy' or shaggy appearance. This provides a more rugged, unique aesthetic compared to traditional smooth suede, which has a very short, uniform nap.

Generally, adidas Forest Hills models tend to run true to size for most individuals. We recommend purchasing your usual UK adult shoe size. If you are between sizes, consider trying both to determine the best fit for your foot shape.

Due to the premium suede upper, these sneakers are not designed to be waterproof or highly water-resistant. Exposure to heavy rain or wet conditions can damage the suede and potentially cause staining or discoloration. We recommend applying a suede protector spray for light moisture resistance and avoiding wear in significant wet weather.

The Pantone Branch green accents are typically embroidered or part of the leather/suede. For general cleaning, use a soft, damp cloth to gently wipe away dirt. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive scrubbing, especially on embroidered areas, to prevent damage or color fading.

These sneakers are highly versatile. They pair excellently with casual streetwear like jeans, chinos, and joggers, as well as more elevated smart-casual ensembles. Their unique design and black/green colorway make them a statement piece that can add an edgy yet refined touch to almost any relaxed outfit.

Yes, the cushioned EVA (Ethylene-vinyl acetate) midsole is designed for durability and long-lasting comfort. It provides excellent shock absorption and retains its shape well over time under normal wear conditions, contributing to the sneaker's overall longevity.

Use a specialized suede brush to gently restore the nap and remove surface dirt. For deeper dirt, a suede eraser can be effective. Always brush in one direction.

Allow the sneakers to dry naturally. Once dry, use a suede brush to lift the nap. For persistent spots, a dedicated suede cleaner or eraser may be needed. Consider using a suede protector spray before initial wear to prevent future stains.

Ensure you have the correct size. The 'adult' sizing in UK 7 (for this specific variant) should align with your usual shoe size. Try adjusting the laces for a looser fit. If discomfort persists, consider wearing thinner socks or breaking them in gradually with short wears.

While the durable rubber outsole provides good traction, extreme conditions (ice, polished wet floors) can reduce grip. Ensure the outsole is clean and free of debris. Avoid wearing them on surfaces not suited for casual rubber soles.
