KoRn has teamed up with Adidas Originals for a second clothing collaboration.Last year, the nu-metal legends collaborated with the athletic apparel brand last year and released two pairs of sneakers – the Campus 00s and the Supermodified – along with seven pieces of apparel.Now, the two are collaborating again on a second drop with the sportswear brand which is set to arrive online and in select stores on May 15.The apparel will feature a green sequin tracksuit with co-branded details, exclusive to the Korn web-store.

A long sleeve graphic tee with Adidas’ Three Stripes on the sleeves, three pairs of socks, and a cap which bears the KoRn logo and Three Stripes detailing will also be available for purchase.A new pair of sneakers will be available in the Campus 2 silhouette as well as the Supermodified sneaker.

The chunky Campus 2 sneaker features a furry suede upper and hidden KoRn details, while the KoRn web-store exclusive Supermodified silhouette features striking bright green accents.The colorways of both sneakers draw on the aesthetic codes of sought-after vintage KoRn t-shirts released during the album cycle of Follow the Leader.

Both sneakers will have a suite of unique accompaniments including graphic insoles, spare laces in multiple colorways, a set of chunky laces, a collection of four stickers, a guitar pick keychain, and a co-branded tour-style box.In 1997, the band released the song ‘A.D.I.D.A.S.’, appearing to play on the myth that the brand name stands for “all day I dream about sex”.In a 2021 interview with Kerrang!, KoRn frontman Jonathan Davis said his affinity for sportswear was “about breaking the mould”.
