SAMPLEDSP5DER and adidas turn the F50 into a street shoe for the 2026 World Cup
Young Thug's SP5DER label and adidas Originals reworked one of football's fastest boots into a silver, rhinestoned lifestyle sneaker — with Lamine Yamal fronting the campaign.
Young Thug's SP5DER label and adidas Originals (opens in a new tab) picked the loudest moment of 2026 to launch a collab: the middle of the World Cup, with Spain's 18-year-old phenom Lamine Yamal (opens in a new tab) fronting the whole thing.
The centerpiece is the adidas x SP5DER F50 Formotion (opens in a new tab) — a lifestyle sneaker that takes the upper of the legendary Adizero F50 III speed boot and drops it onto adidas' Formotion running platform. So it looks like a football cleat, but you can actually walk around in it.
What the shoe actually is
Silver zigzag mesh runs the length of the upper, with leather overlays stacked on top for structure. Pink SP5DER hits break up the metallic base. A lenticular tongue badge shifts as it catches light, an oversized SP5DER logo wraps the heel, and there's a metal hangtag threaded through the laces — the kind of details that push it out of "sneaker" and into "collectible."
Underneath: Formotion cushioning, the same tech adidas uses on its lifestyle runners. It's not a cleat you can wear to dinner. It's a runner that looks like a cleat.
Colorway is Silver Metallic / Core Black / Bright Red. SKU is KZ6575. Retail is $190.

The apparel actually goes
The collection isn't just the sneaker. There's a football jersey with a vinyl SP5DER chest logo and a full spider-web graphic filling the back, plus matching shorts. A tracksuit — jacket and pants — comes covered in rhinestones on the Three Stripes and the SP5DER wordmark. Custom goalkeeper gloves and a rhinestoned cap round it out.
It's SP5DER doing what SP5DER does: taking a familiar uniform and making it look like it was pulled out of a strip-club locker instead of a locker room.
Lamine Yamal is the face
The campaign was shot in a fictional locker-room setting with Yamal front and center. Yamal is having the summer of his life — he scored his first career World Cup goal in Spain's Group Stage opener earlier this week — and adidas is clearly betting on him as the face of the tournament, both on the pitch and off it.
It's the same playbook adidas ran with Beckham and Messi at previous World Cups, just faster: Yamal is 18, he's in a rhinestoned tracksuit before the knockout rounds even start, and he's selling shoes he could theoretically wear to the after-party.

When and where to buy
The drop rolls out in two phases. A SP5DER early release (opens in a new tab) hit KINGSPIDER.CO on June 26 for the label's community. The global release (opens in a new tab) lands July 1 through adidas' CONFIRMED app, select adidas stores, participating retailers, and KINGSPIDER.CO.
Why it matters
Football fashion in 2026 doesn't look like football fashion in 2018. The line between kit and streetwear is basically gone — Wales Bonner has been reworking Sambas for years, Martine Rose did the same treatment on Nike Shox (opens in a new tab), and now SP5DER gets a shot at the F50 during the biggest football event on earth. If it sells, expect every other streetwear brand with an adidas contract to line up for the same treatment before Qatar 2030 talks even start.
