Korn x Adidas Collaboration Coming in October

During the band’s heyday in the 1990s, members of Korn frequently donned Adidas apparel. The band released a song entitled “A.D.I.D.A.S.” in 1997, the title of which was a play on the joke that Adidas stands for “all day I dream about sex.”

According to a 2021 article from Kerrang, Adidas gave Korn free merchandise during that era but refused to commit them to a contract. Instead, in 1998, Korn signed a contract with Puma.

The band’s frontman, Jonathan Davis, told Kerrang, “We switched to Puma because they told us they’d put us in a commercial and pay us a little money to wear their crap.”

Now, 30 years after the band’s founding in 1993, Adidas is preparing an official collaboration with Korn. Due to the unpredictable nature of sneaker release dates, it is possible that Korn’s Adidas sneakers and apparel will appear after October.

The Korn x Adidas Campus 00s (style code IG0792) and the Korn x Adidas Supermodified (IG0793) will retail for $130 USD and $140 USD, respectively. Both pairs of shoes will feature the band’s logo on the right tongue, guitar pick keychains, and artwork from the album Life Is Peachy. The footwear depicted in these leaked images are prototypes and may differ from the final retail versions.

The Korn x Adidas apparel will consist of two T-shirts (style codes IN9098 and IN9099, priced at $50 and $60, respectively) and a black and white hoodie with the band’s logo (style code IN9102, priced at $120). Two tracksuits will also be available: one in sequins ($120 for the trousers and $180 for the top) and one in black and white ($100 for the top and $80 for the pants).
