Drawing on decades of performance heritage, Brain Dead & adidas Originals rework the classic Japan silhouette, infusing it with bold wrestling iconography that pushes the duo’s partnership into new arenas. The collection revives both low-top and high-top versions:
Japan Lo—available in two standout colorways: brown with yellow and green flame overlays and black with blue and off-white accents. Crafted with leather uppers layered with sweeping suede flame motifs, furry laces, and co-branded sockliners, these deliver tactile depth and visual flair.
Japan Hi—a high-top iteration designed to evoke a wrestling boot silhouette. It reimagines the flames with vertical dominance, appearing in black with off-white detailing and pine green accents.
Designed to complement the spirit of Brain Slam Wrestling, Brain Dead’s in-house wrestling promotion launched in 2022, the collection aligns branding and design with the theatrics and dynamism of the ring.
