The Adidas x KoRn drop 3 collaboration, marks the band's 30th anniversary with a range of footwear, clothing, and accessories inspired by their longstanding connection to Adidas.
The band members, particularly lead singer Jonathan Davis, frequently sported the brand on stage during their peak performances. In 1997, the band dropped a track titled “A.D.I.D.A.S.,” playing with the initials from the phrase “All Day I Dream About Sex.”
The collection celebrates KoRn’s self-titled breakthrough album with a variety of timeless designs and is set to launch on October 31, 2024.
The collection will be available on the official Adidas website, KoRn website, and select retailers. The prices of items from the collection are reportedly said to range between $30 to $160.
