Korn and Adidas officially established a partnership to create the Korn x Adidas project 25 years since the band released a song about the brand.
Fans had been eyeing to see a Korn and Adidas collaboration as the nu-metal band's frontman has been wearing the brand's tracksuits and shoes over the years since the 1990's. They expressed their love for the company even more when they released their second album, "Life Is Peachy," in 1997, which contained the single, "A.D.I.D.A.S."
Korn x Adidas Collaboration Coming Soon
Two decades after the rumored collaboration started, Korn and Adidas finally secured a partnership to launch a shoe and clothing collaboration, Complex reported.
The collaboration will offer two pairs of shoes - called the Supermodified and Campus 00s - and a number of tracksuits, hoodies, and t-shirts as the partnership plans to launch the merch by October.
The news outlet obtained a document regarding the pricing of Korn x Adidas collaboration merch, confirming that Korn x Adidas Campus 00s will be sold at $130 and Korn x Adidas Supermodified at $140. The pairs' design will include Korn's logo on the shoes' right tongue complemented with pick keychains and "Life Is Peachy" inspired insoles.
On the other hand, the prices for the collaboration's T-shirts are priced at $50 and $60. Fans who want to have a Korn logo hoodie should pay $120 to secure the clothing.
Out of the confirmed merch, Korn x Adidas' sequinned tracksuit remains the most expensive, having a cost of $300 for the top and pants. It will, however, sell a cheaper version at $180 per pair.
Digital Music News shared the first look at the items obtained from Adidas' social media accounts and website.
Jonathan Davis Pissed After Adidas Snubbed
Before securing a partnership, Korn went through a number of snubs after Adidas turned the band down.
In 2021, Korn vocalist Jonathan Davis expressed his dismay in an interview with Kerrang! and questioned how other artists managed to secure a deal with the company while Korn could not.
"Their reply was, 'adidas is a sports company. We do sports, not music,'" the frontman said. "I would look out into the crowd and see all these kids wearing adidas shit at our shows, but they couldn't do anything for us."
Korn then opted to work with Puma when the brand chose them to become the commercial model; however, they reportedly received "a little money" to wear its shirt.
