adidas is gearing up to release its second round of collaboration with American nu-metal band, KoRn. Returning after the success of their adidas Originals Campus 00s and Supermodified models, the latest collaborative release introduces a sequel to one of the silhouettes, aptly named Campus 2.0.
Remaining faithful to the codes and aesthetics of the Campus 00s, the new model arrives in a synonymous tamed look and chunky silhouette. Dressed in a dark gray, the upper comes in hairy suede materiality, punctuated with white leather Three Stripes on the lateral sides. The contrasting hue is echoed throughout the sneaker, appearing as the leather heel counter, heel tab lining and tongue embroidery. The branding on the tongue also alternates from adidas’ logo to KoRn from one foot to another.
A gold-tone “Campus” can also be spotted along the side of the Three Stripes, while a neon green “A.D.I.D.A.S.” imprint can be found on the interiors of the tongue as a nod to both the brand and a 1996 song from the band.
The primary shoelaces come in an off-white that complements the midsole, setting a consistent palette that harmoniously juxtaposes its brown outsoles. Two additional pairs of laces are also offered in green and black, alongside limited stickers and a guitar pick tag.
Priced at $120 USD, the KoRn x adidas Originals Campus 2.0 sneaker is set for a May 15 release via adidas and select retailers.
