adidas Campus 00s Korn

 Introducing the much-anticipated collaboration between global nu metal pioneers Korn and sportswear giant adidas, the Korn x adidas Campus 00s "Black Gum" is more than just a sneaker; it's a nod to the mid-'90s music era that shaped a generation. As Korn makes its official debut in the fashion realm, this collection seamlessly merges the band's iconic aesthetic with adidas' classic appeal.

The Korn x adidas Campus 00s "Black Gum" is a visual and auditory celebration for dedicated fans who have rocked out to Korn's unique sound since their formation in 1993. The sneaker tells a story through meticulous detailing, resonating with the band's design ethos. With co-branded labels and a distinctive purple guitar pick, this collaboration is a must-have for those eager to fuse music and fashion.

The sneaker itself boasts a stealthy all-black suede base, adorned with contrasting white stitching and serrated 3-Stripes on the side panels. The skate-inspired padded tongue features co-branded adidas and Korn logos, serving as a testament to the enduring partnership between the band and the iconic sportswear brand. Notably, the leather heel tab pays homage to Korn's early endorsement of the 3-Stripes.

Inspired by the band's title font, the 'CAMPUS' spellout takes on Korn's distinctive thorny script, adding a touch of the band's rebellious spirit to the classic adidas silhouette. The co-branding extends to the sockliners, ensuring that every step resonates with Korn's impactful presence.

The sneaker comes complete with a set of purple and black fat boi laces, offering wearers the flexibility to match the dark palette or coordinate with the eye-catching purple details. The inclusion of the dangling guitar pick attached via the eye stay further solidifies the connection between the music and the sneakers.

Paying homage to Korn's history, the purple accents reference the custom adidas Firebird tracksuit worn by lead vocalist Jonathan Davis in the iconic "A.D.I.D.A.S" music video from 1997. This historical nod is further echoed on the reverse of both tongues.

Packaged in a special box reminiscent of the cases used by roadies on tour to protect the band's equipment and speakers, the Korn x adidas Campus 00s "Black Gum" is a holistic experience that encapsulates the essence of nu metal and street style. With black midsoles and a gum outsole anchoring the design, this collaboration brings together music and fashion in a way that is both nostalgic and contemporary.
