Founded in 1993 in Bakersfield, California, Korn is one of the pioneers of nu metal. With their unique blend of metal, alternative and hip-hop, they shaped the genre and created a powerful and emotionally charged musical identity. Singer Jonathan Davis often deals with dark and personal themes in his lyrics, which are further emphasised by the band's aggressive guitar riffs and distinctive bass sound. Their debut album Korn, released in 1994, quickly became a cult favourite, and albums such as Follow the Leader and Issues established them as one of the most influential bands of their time.

A partnership that breaks boundaries
A particular highlight of Korn's career is their association with adidas. Early on, the band frequently wore adidas clothing and footwear, which not only became part of their aesthetic, but also their style and image. This connection eventually culminated in an official collaboration with adidas, releasing specially designed clothing and sneakers. This collaboration reflected the mutual appreciation between Korn and adidas.
The adidas collaboration thus marks an important moment in pop culture and emphasises Korn's role as a genre and style icon.
