Following earlier explorations of tennis culture and Japanese wrestling, Brain Dead and adidas link up again: their new collaboration taps into the digital underground of the late ’90s and early 2000s, resulting in a full head-to-toe capsule that channels the bold energy of early sports video games.
Apparel leads with reflective silver details and sculpted panels pulled from adidas’ archives, reworked through Brain Dead’s lens. Standouts include a Japanese Noragi-inspired Climacool track top, a metallic football-style jersey, and an all-over print goalkeeper top, each finished with custom crests and graphics.
On the footwear side, the Climacool 2 returns with metallic vents, reflective green mesh, and yellow hits, while the Taekwondo Mei counters with a stripped-back black upper, white stripes, and an off-white sole for balance.
The adidas Originals x Brain Dead Y2K collection releases at BSTN on Thursday, December 18th. Pick up your favorites via the link below!
