The hype surrounding the adidas Campus 00s

Update 03.02.2025

The adidas Campus 00s went from insider tip to must-have in 2024. With its mix of skate vibes, 2000s aesthetics and versatile colourways, it was one of the most worn sneakers of the year. But adidas is not content to simply let the hype die down - 2025 brings new designs and a revised silhouette that takes the Campus 00s to the next level: the Campus 00s Beta.

The Campus 00s Beta has been officially available since 28 January 2025 - a further development of the OG model with new material and design updates. Inspired by the classic adidas Wilcox and Beta skate shoes, the Beta version features more inserts and overlays that give the sneaker an even more distinctive look. At the same time, the popular midsole of the Campus 00s is retained, while the proportions of the upper material are based on the original. The perforated suede surface improves breathability and the mesh tongue brings a modern element into play.

2024 has already shown that the Campus 00s work in different colourways - from classic earth tones to bold pastel shades. In 2025, adidas will continue to expand this approach. Initial leaks show that both the Campus 00s and the Beta will be released in new, eye-catching colourways. The basic idea remains: playful looks inspired by skate culture.

A successful sneaker needs big names to cement its status. So far, there have been no high-calibre collaborations on the campus of the 00s - that could change in 2025. adidas has shown in the past that they know how to generate the next hype with musicians, artists and streetwear brands. Will we see a limited drop with a skate label or an exclusive design collaboration? It's possible - and it would definitely put the Campus 00s on a par with classics like the Superstar or the Samba.

With the launch of the Campus 00s Beta, new colourways and the possibility of exciting collaborations, adidas shows that the sneaker was not just a brief hype, but will remain in the sneaker scene for the long term. Those who haven't yet secured a pair in 2024 will have plenty of new options in 2025 - and those who are already fans can look forward to fresh designs.

The adidas Campus 00s is currently very trendy and has quickly become a favourite in the sneaker scene. This new edition of the classic Campus model brings a breath of fresh air to the design and combines retro elements with modern details. The Campus from the 80s was known for its minimalist design, slim silhouette and high-quality suede upper. But the Campus 00s is very different from its predecessors.

One striking difference to the classic Campus is the much bulkier shape of the Campus 00s. While the original was known for its slim fit and simple, functional design, the Campus 00s has a bolder, more voluminous look. The sole is thicker and the overall design looks bulkier, which fits in perfectly with the current trend for chunky trainers. This adaptation not only gives the trainers a modern touch, but also more comfort and robustness, making them even more attractive for everyday use.

The material of the Campus 00 also remains true to the classic style, but with a refined finish. The upper is made of high-quality suede, which ensures durability and a sophisticated look. Despite the retro look, the trainers are modern enough to fit seamlessly into contemporary streetwear outfits. Details such as the iconic three stripes and the typical Campus branding have been retained, giving the shoe a familiar look that will delight fans of the original.

Another interesting aspect of the Campus 00s is the colour palette, which ranges from neutral tones to bold colours. This versatility makes the sneaker a popular choice, as it can be combined with both casual and more striking outfits.

Youth of Paris released its second collaboration with adidas in November 2023, including the stylish Campus 00s. The sneaker impresses with a sophisticated colour palette of Carbon, Solar Green and Core Black. The black suede upper is complemented by grey laces, while broken-up leather stripes in the classic three-stripe design add a vintage touch. Sun green accents on the tongue, heel and branding create eye-catching highlights.

In October 2023, adidas Originals launched a special collaboration with the nu-metal band Korn. The collection centred around two sneaker models: the Campus 00s and the Supermodified. This collaboration was a tribute to the close connection between Korn and adidas in the early years of their career, when the band regularly wore adidas clothing. Particularly noteworthy is the song ‘A.D.I.D.A.S.’, which Korn released in 1997 and in which they used the brand name in a playful way.

The Korn x adidas Campus 00s impresses with its simple black and white design that reflects the band's rebellious aesthetic. The band logo is emblazoned on the right tongue and the insole is decorated with artwork from the album *Life Is Peachy*. Special details such as guitar pick key rings round off the design and emphasise the connection to the music.
