Korn and Adidas Officially Announce Apparel and Sneaker Collaboration

Korn and Adidas, together at last! After famously releasing the song “A.D.I.D.A.S.” back in 1996 and wearing Adidas track suits throughout the ’90s, Korn are officially partnering with Adidas on a new line of sneakers and apparel.
Back in June, leaked documents suggested the collaboration was going to happen, with images of the footwear even surfacing at the time. But now, Adidas has issued an official press release detailing the collection, which is set for an October 27th release.
Adidas’ press release reads, in part:
“When pioneering California-based alt metal band, KoRn, emerged onto the scene 30 years ago, they broke away from the genre’s established aesthetic codes, and paved the way for a new generation of fans by sporting classic Three Stripes adidas tracksuits. Never ceasing to challenge normal convention, KoRn and the Trefoil have maintained a long standing relationship over the years through an authentic connection that was later immortalized by the band’s 1996 song, ‘A.D.I.D.A.S.’
The inaugural adidas Originals and KoRn collaborative collection features a selection of bold styles inspired by their 1996 album, Life Is Peachy. The collection comprises two graphic t-shirts, a Three Stripes hoodie with the band’s logo on the front, and two signature takes on the quintessential adidas Originals tracksuit – one in black with white accents and one with purple sequins.
The footwear collection features a custom take on the chunky Campus 00s silhouette and a daring update to the Supermodified sneaker. Both looks boast a suite of unique details including graphic insoles, spare laces, KoRn logos, a guitar pick keychain, and a co-branded box.”
Despite Korn’s love for Adidas back in the day, they never previously had an official partnership. Instead the band ended up inking a deal with Puma. Singer Jonathan Davis told Kerrang!, “We switched to Puma because they told us they’d put us in a commercial and give us a little money to wear their shit.”
Ahead of the October 27th release, the Adidas Originals X KoRn collection can be previewed at adidas.com, and in the gallery below. A promo video featuring Korn can also be seen below.
