Enter the Dojo: Brain Dead x adidas FW25 Pulls No Punches

are back in the kitchen with for Fall/Winter 2025, dishing out a new four-shoe collection that blends performance tech, retro oddities, and fight-club flair. On the menu this time: the Barricade 13, and the debut of a wild new silhouette named the Brody King.

Leading the charge is the Barricade 13 – a high-energy tennis model known for its unorthodox diagonal lacing – now served with a metallic mesh upper, jabs of yellow, and flashes of ultraviolet suede. The Taekwondo silhouette – now a low-profile linchpin for Team Trefoil – keeps things minimal but aggressive, shedding laces for a clean, martial arts-inspired build. Rendered in chrome silver and smooth black leather, the metallic makeover even pays homage to the adidas of 1984 with its retrofuturist mid-foot shroud.

Next up, adidas unvaults the Climacool 2 for the first time in yonks. Reinvented with a breezy knit upper and freaky neon hues, the sneaker channels early-2000s techwear energy. A distorted Brain Dead logo housed in an air-cushioned tongue brings the chaos full circle. For calmer heads, there’s also a toned-down beige version.

Finishing things off is the all-new Brody King – a hulking hybrid that ostensibly pulls influence from 1980s Japanese boxing boots and the flamboyant theatrics of Mexican wrestling.

No release details yet, but make sure to keep it locked to Sneaker Freaker for updates.
