FAQs

What is the main inspiration behind this shoe?

The adidas Campus 2 KoRn Follow The Leader is inspired by the iconic 1998 album "Follow The Leader" by the American nu metal band Korn.

What material is the upper made of?

The upper is primarily made of a distinctive shaggy suede.

How should I clean the shaggy suede?

Use a dedicated suede brush for regular cleaning and to maintain the nap. For stains, a specialized suede cleaner is recommended. Always test cleaners in a small area first.

Does the shoe come in other colors?

This specific model, the 'KoRn Follow The Leader', features a Carbon base with Footwear White and Off-White accents. Other colorways might exist for the general Campus 2 series.

Is this a limited edition release?

Yes, this is a special-edition collaboration between adidas and Korn, celebrating a specific album, which typically indicates a limited release.

What is the fit like for the Campus 2 silhouette?

The Campus 2 generally offers a standard, comfortable fit. It's recommended to refer to adidas sizing charts for the most accurate fit, especially as shoe preferences can vary.

Can I wear these for sports or intense activity?

While the Campus silhouette is based on a classic trainer, this special edition with shaggy suede is best suited for casual wear and not for athletic performance.

Troubleshooting

Suede looks matted or dirty

Use a suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For stubborn marks, consult a specialized suede cleaner.

Water stains on suede

Allow the shoe to dry naturally away from heat. Once dry, use a suede brush. If marks persist, a suede cleaner may be necessary.

Color transfer from suede

This can happen with new suede. Ensure socks are colorfast. If significant transfer occurs, a suede sealant might help, but test first.

Laces are dirty

Remove laces and hand wash with mild soap and water. Allow to air dry completely before re-lacing.
