Campus 2 Korn Follow The Leader

The adidas Campus 2 KoRn Follow The Leader model was created as part of a collaboration between adidas Originals and the American band KoRn. The design references the aesthetics of the 1998 album Follow the Leader, one of the most recognizable releases in the history of nu metal. The silhouette uses the Campus 2 construction, which builds on the classic Campus model with a more elaborate upper, wide tongue, and distinctive thick laces. The edition was presented as part of the adidas x KoRn collection in 2024.The color scheme of the model is based on a combination of dark gray with contrasting white elements. The upper is in a carbon shade, which creates a consistent visual base for the entire design. Against this background, the three white adidas stripes and the matching heel panel stand out clearly. The contrast between the dark surface of the upper and the light details emphasizes the panel layout and gives the silhouette a distinct structure.The upper is made of distinctive suede with a longer pile, whose texture gives the surface a distinct texture. This material is one of the most recognizable elements of this version of the model. The three stripes on the sides are made of leather in a contrasting color, and the interior of the shoe is finished with a textile lining for comfort during use. The suede construction of the upper, combined with smooth leather elements, creates a distinct material contrast.The model is based on a rubber cupsole, which stabilizes the foot and provides traction on various surfaces. Its construction supports even pressure distribution when walking. Soft padding around the tongue and collar improves the fit and stabilizes the foot inside the shoe.The distinguishing features of this version refer directly to the collaboration with the band KoRn. The design features details inspired by the band's style, including distinctive markings and graphics on the insole and tongue. The whole is complemented by adidas visual identity elements, such as the Trefoil logo and the Campus marking on the side panel.
