A while back we reported about the House of Pain x adidas collaboration and launch at Concepts in Boston. Frank The Butcher used the occasion to talk to House of Pain about the project. Check it out!
Legendary hip-hop group, House of Pain, made a special side trip from their current tour to visitBoston, MA yesterday in celebration of their Adidas x House of Pain collaboration sneaker for St. Patrick’s Day. As we reported previously, the group worked with Concepts on a green Adidas Campus sneaker to celebrate the holiday. As well as the Campus sneaker, a special t-shirt by Slick from Dizzisit, who was also in attendance, was developed.
After the Concepts event, House of Pain performed a private St. Patrick’s Day show at the Roxy in downtown Boston – one hell of a special treat on the holiday of the Irish. (photos credit: Daniel Vogelzang)

The other day we gave you the run down on the new adidas x House Of Pain Campus 80 and already mentioned that Concepts would be collaborating with adidas on a special basketball jersey for the release. The Celtics jersey comes with a collaborative logo patch, featuring all partners involved in the project. It comes in very limited quantities and will only be given to friends and family. 5 signed jerseys will be raffled at the event, taking place at Concepts on March 17th.
Take a detailed look at the adidas x House of Pain x Concepts Jersey after the jump.
adidas Originals and hip-hop group House of Pain collaborated for a special edition St. Patrick’s Day shoe called the Campus 80 House of Pain. House of Pain member Danny Boy O’Connor contributed design concepts and feedback while adidas designers brought the shoe to life.
The green, gold and white color way of the Campus 80 House of Pain shoe was inspired by the band’s Irish heritage. The band’s iconic crest, first introduced on the debut album, “House of Pain,” is featured on the tongue. The deep vintage suede exterior completes the classic look. The sneaker is limited to 1500 pairs worldwide.
Concepts will be hosting the launch event in Boston on March 17th, providing live music and drinks. Concepts also created a Boston Celtics Jersey in collaboration with adidas and House Of Pain, that will be released at the event, along with the sneakers.
