Here is what you need to know:
For their latest collab, Brain Dead and adidas chose the Japan Lo silhouette. Originally made for the 1964 Tokyo Olympics, it now returns with a special twist. Brain Dead’s collaboration brings two colourways: ‘Brown’ with yellow details and ‘Black’ with blue accents.
Both colourways feature playful elements, such as flame-shaped hairy suede overlays that stand out against the leather upper, adding a retro yet creative vibe in line with the brand’s signature style.
Other standout details in this design include the hairy laces, suede heel pull tab, and contrasting leather collar, combining to create a playful yet premium feel. Co-branding is also featured, appearing on the side of the shoes.
The Brain Dead x adidas Japan Lo collection is set to drop on August 28, 2025 at adidas and selected retailers. Click the button below for a full release overview, including all shops, sizes, and prices.
