adidas and KoRn Join Forces on the Campus 2 Sneakers

adidas Originals works in collaboration with KoRn, which is a nu metal band to present a pair of the Campus 2 sneakers that are made for the Spring/Summer 2024 season. The two have joined forces before back in October 2023 so this marks their second partnership. This time around, it offers more impressive looks than the first as the two continue to shine a spotlight on their mutual value of cultural impact.

The band creates two custom variations of the Campus 2 -- it starts with a furry suede upper that is detailed with discreet KoRn accents. There is another KoRn exclusive which is detailed with bright green details. Both of these colorways are inspired by the aesthetic of the vintage KoRn tees that were launched in 1998 for their 'Follow the Leader' launch.
