TLDR: The new Brain Dead x adidas collection brings 2000s aesthetics to the streets – with reflective clothing, gaming vibes and two sneakers: the Climacool 2 in green for €180 and the Taekwondo in black for €140. The release date is 18 December 2025. As always, all further information is available at Grailify. With their latest capsule collection, Brain Dead and adidas Originals celebrate an era that lies somewhere between retro football, Y2K designs and video game nostalgia. The collaboration combines archive-inspired sportswear with experimental streetwear – very much in the style of the early 2000s.
The collection includes a reflective Climacool track jacket in Noragi style, a metallic football jersey with shorts, an all-over print goalkeeper jersey and matching accessories such as a sling bag and a beanie.
Each piece is embellished with Brain Dead crests and tech graphics, exuding a mix of digital chaos and athletic functionality.
Footwear: 1. Brain Dead x adidas Climacool 2 ‘Green’ – €180 The retro sneaker from 2003 comes with green mesh, yellow stitching and silver TPU cages – a real eye-catcher with cooling technology and a futuristic vibe.
2. Brain Dead x adidas Taekwondo ‘Black’ – €140 In contrast, the Taekwondo features a simple black/white colourway, rubber sole and quilted toe cap – a sporty, elegant alternative with subtle co-branding details.
