The Brain Dead x adidas Holiday 2025 Collection is a familiar blast to the early-2000s. Sneakers, apparel, and accessories are all decked out in reflective accents, shaped panels, and vintage techy details that the brand leaned into back in the day. The entire aesthetic of the capsule evokes a blend of the sports brand’s early experiments in athleisure and the vaguely glitchy aesthetic of early tech, which is fitting for Brain Dead.

The apparel lineup pushes that theme even further. A Climacool track set arrives with Noragi-style construction, while a metallic football jersey and matching shorts echo past adidas uniforms. Additional tops, pants, and tees carry Brain Dead graphics, custom crests, and the odd experimental detail that longtime fans will appreciate. Accessories stay focused with a functional sling bag and a simple beanie.

Two footwear models headline the capsule. The Climacool 2 features metallic vents, reflective green mesh, and bright yellow accents for a retro-futuristic spin. Meanwhile, the Taekwondo Mei keeps things understated with a black upper, clean white stripes, and an off-white sole. Both pairs mirror earlier Brain Dead collaborations that blended archival storytelling with modern tweaks.

Adding a playful twist, the brands also created two gaming-inspired collectible figures. These items aren’t for direct sale and will be raffled only through the CONFIRMED app.
