Brain Dead and adidas Originals Press Start on a 2000s Sports Fantasy

by
January 8, 2026
Having previously partnered on a number of collaborative collections, including takes on Tennis culture, Japanese Wrestling style, and a selection of iconic adidas silhouettes, this December, Brain Dead and the brand with the Three Stripes return to present a head-to-toe nostalgic capsule. Channeling the bold sporting and video game energy of the 2000s, the latest adidas Originals x Brain Dead collection delivers a full head-to-toe offering. The collection features reflective silver elements and shaped panels inspired by the adidas archive for apparel, along with two standout retro-futuristic silhouettes, also inspired from the adidas archive, complemented by matching accessories. The apparel offering boasts a number of key pieces, including a Japanese Noragi inspired Climacool track top and matching track pants, a metallic football-esque jersey and matching shorts, and an all over print goalkeeper jersey, as well as a track top, track pants, and a t-shirt. Each piece features Brain Dead graphics and custo crests. Rounding out the collection in the form of accessories are a sling bag and beanie. The footwear selection focuses on two silhouettes: the Climacool 2 and the Taekwondo Mei. Born in 2003 as the followup to the OG adidas Climacool sneaker, the Climacool 2 saw the silhouette updated with a futuristic vent system. Now, Braindead has brought its distinct aesthetic sensibility to the silhouette, featuring metallic vents, reflective green mesh, and yellow accents. The Taekwondo Mei Brain Dead, meanwhile, features a black upper with white stripes and an off-white outsole. Brain Dead and adidas Originals have produced a line of two collectibles inspired by classic video game culture, blending nostalgic aesthetics with the brand’s signature surreal style. These limited-edition figures capture the playful, experimental spirit of the early 2000s and will be raffled exclusively on CONFIRMED, running for the duration of the collection’s availability. While the collection can be purchased directly, the collectibles can only be won via raffle. Arriving in limited quantities on December 18th, the adidas Originals x Brain Dead collection is available via CONFIRMED, select adidas stores, select retailers, and on wearebraindead.com.
