Adidas Supermodified KoRn

The adidas Supermodified KoRn represents a collaboration between the iconic German sneaker company and the pioneering nu-metal band. This reboot of a sneaker that debuted during the KoRn’s meteoric rise celebrates the band’s 30th anniversary.

The KoRn x adidas Supermodified sports an upper of white calf leather. The texture of the leather along the side panel is tumbled, while it is embossed with a crosshatch pattern on the toe box, and pebbled between the black three stripes as well as on the tongue. The laces are also black, as is the sock liner. The white foam midsole with tonal stitching rests on an outsole composed of black and translucent gray rubber.

What our experts appreciate most about this shoe are the hits of branding. One heel sports adidas trefoil branding and the other KoRn branding, and this mismatched dual branding is echoed on the lace tabs as well.  KoRn branding also appears on the tongue and a "Life Is Peachy" album graphic adorns the sock liner and outsole. The adidas Supermodified KoRn was released on October 27, 2023, for retail price of $140.
