Brain Dead’s reimagining touch has graced adidas Five Ten.
Adidas’ climbing silhouettes: the NIAD and Guide Tennie are getting the almost abstract, almost bizarre touch that makes Brain Dead so special. Designed for both technical climbs and everyday wear, the collection combines Five Ten’s performance heritage with Brain Dead’s signature aesthetic.
The Brain Dead x adidas Five Ten NIAD is crafted for those who thrive on adventure and creativity. Built on the iconic Anasazi last, the shoe balances style and performance, taking on challenging climbs and powering through gym sets.
The NIAD’s slip-on design allows for easy-on, easy-off adjustments, while the premium leather, textile upper, soft sockliner, and STEALTH rubber outsole deliver reliable traction across any surface.

The Brain Dead x adidas Five Ten Guide Tennie is for those who see every trail as an invitation. Blending eye-catching style with modern innovation, these shoes deliver confident movement whether climbing, hiking, or enjoying city adventures.
The Guide Tennie features a lace-up closure for a secure, customizable fit, while a soft sockliner, premium leather and textile upper, and STEALTH rubber outsole deliver reliable performance and versatility, letting you move confidently from everyday wear to outdoor adventures.

Arriving in limited quantities on November 6th, the collection will retail for $180 each and be available via adidas.com, select retailers, and on wearebraindead.com.
