Pioneers, legends, and the Originals; KoRn finally made their longstanding relationship with adidas official in October 2023 with a well-received collaborative collection. The band has a historical connection with the label that can be traced back to their first album and unofficial uniform of self-customised adidas tracksuits and trainers, even predating their ‘96 track ‘A.D.I.D.A.S’ from ‘Life’s Peachy’.
Back for 2024, an all-new collection arrives – and it couldn’t have come sooner. Drawing inspiration from KoRn’s mainstream breakthrough album ‘Follow the Leader’. While October’s release saw the Campus 00s get the KoRn treatment, now is the turn of the legendary Campus 2.
Staying classic, the uppers are coated in black suede, with bold white 3-Stripes slicing through at the sidewalls. Co-branding claims the tongues and heel tabs, along with an extra nod to the pair’s history on the inner tongue. As we make our way down, the midsole has been aged to suggest these shoes have been in the throws of a mosh pit or two, while a gum rubber outsole rounds it off. Tying together the two collections, the green guitar pick hang tag we saw last time adds the only touch of colour.
The adidas Originals x KoRn Campus 2 draw opens on 09.05.24 and closes on the 14.05.24. Sign up to size? access below for a better chance at winning draws – “It’s On!“
