adidas Birmingham “Ozzy Osbourne”
1 of 121 pairs made for the biggest icon in heavy music.
05.07.25 back to the beginning.
Created for Ozzy to gift his family and friends throughout a star-studded day of performances.
What an incredible moment in music history.
Thank you Ozzy, thank you Black Sabbath. You paved the way for heavy music.
An iconic part of KoRn history and now an official part of adidas history. 💜✨
It was a real honor to help bring one of Jonathan Davis iconic designs to life!
It’s such an iconic piece of adidas / metal history, the true “Heavy Stripe” grail..
It’s incredible to think that Jonathan in the 90s came up with the idea of customizing his own tracksuits, ain’t nothing out there like it!! Truly original. ///
Just wanted to show a few behind the scenes of this piece of history, including the first prototype that was in substitute colors to get the fit right, the silver and black looked pretty dope though.
Thank you to the whole team that made this happen, you know who you are! 💕
30 fucking years of KoRn!!! 🔥

Some of my favorite work to date, I loved working with the SNS fam on this one. 💕✨
Top shoes of 25’ (Completely unbiased).
What a fucking crazy year!
I saw my brother Ben @brokenbenjamin post his top shoes of 25’ and I thought I would do the same.
No particular order, they are all joint first place in my eyes and I defiantly missed some on the list.. but a special shoutout goes to the Ozzy shoe. 💜🖤
RIP to the prince of darkness. 🦇
SpongeBob Squarepants x adidas. 🧽 ⭐️ 💛
What a fun one this was!
one of the best cartoons ever made.
All came from a conversation with @in.her.room on his new design, the “Stan Smith, Freizeit” kinda looking like SpongeBobs shoes. 👞
Some fun eater eggs, Drivers licenses and killer packaging. 🍍🪨
Gotta love the shiny toe detail ✨.

A very rare pair of Ozzy Osbourne inspired sports shoes have gone on display today at Birmingham Museum & Art Gallery as part of Ozzy’s record-breaking ‘Working Class Hero’ exhibition.
In honour of global rock legend Ozzy Osbourne, sportswear giant adidas, in partnership with Aston Villa, produced limited-edition trainers to commemorate his final ever performance at the Back to the Beginning concert at Villa Park on Saturday 5th July 2025.
Only 121 pairs - inspired by the Birmingham 0121 telephone area code - were made. Designed by Joe Ling and Ben Asquith at adidas, the colours, graphics and logo represent the life and career of Ozzy, including a bespoke sock liner and stitched-in date of the final show.
Not for general sale, the trainers have already become most sought after by collectors from around the world and this pair has been kindly provided for display at Birmingham Museum & Art Gallery by Aston Villa Football Club. #OzzyForever @ozzyosbourne@birmingham_mag@avfcofficial@joellling@adidas@adidasuk@heavystripes@brokenbenjamin
