adidas Originals and KoRn Reunite for Their Third Collaborative Collection

In October 1994, alt-metal pioneers KoRn released their groundbreaking self-titled debut album, sparking a cultural revolution. Now, 30 years later, KoRn and adidas Originals unite once again to celebrate the album's anniversary with their third collaborative collection—a bold tribute to individuality and rebellion.

The adidas Originals x KoRn collaboration continues to defy conventions, embodying a fearless spirit of self-expression and creativity. This third instalment fuses the distinct identities of both icons, presenting a collection that champions individuality over conformity.

The collection channels the alt-metal vibe of the ’90s with standout pieces like a reversible tracksuit, tartan overshirt, graphic long-sleeve tee, hoodie, and beanie.

The footwear collection is where this collaboration truly shines. Customizable Superstar sneakers let you switch out the stripes to create your own look, while insoles featuring artwork from KoRn’s iconic debut album and the band’s logo on the tongue tie it all together. For fans who crave a deeper connection to the band’s roots, the monochromatic black-and-white Superstar edition pays homage to their first demo tape with reimagined graphics. Rounding out the line-up, the KoRn Adilettes bring a casual edge, giving you yet another way to make a statement.

Who is KoRn?

KoRn revolutionised music with the release of their self-titled debut album in 1994, laying the foundation for a new genre and defining a cultural era. Their ability to articulate raw emotion and angst struck a chord with a generation, as The FADER noted, “Korn became the soundtrack for a generation’s arrival as a snarling, thrashing, systemically-restrained freak show.”

With over 40 million albums sold globally, two Grammy wins, and countless world tours, KoRn’s influence remains unmatched. They’ve consistently pushed the boundaries of rock, alternative, and metal, inspiring legions of fans and artists across generations.

Beyond accolades, KoRn’s legacy is a testament to their ability to transcend genres and redefine music culture. The Ringer aptly describes their impact: “They are a genuine movement in a way bands cannot be now.” KoRn continues to break barriers, embodying radical innovation and proving that their influence is as relevant today as it was 30 years ago.

The adidas KoRn Collaborative Collection launches online at 9am and in-store at 10am at thegoodlife. on 30 November 2024
