Adidas Originals and A Bathing Ape Unite for a Football-Focused Streetwear Collection

Building on a long-standing partnership, adidas joins forces with Japanese streetwear icon BAPE to deliver a collection that blurs the boundaries between football, fashion, and culture. The lineup includes the Predator Elite FT, the F50 Elite, the adidas Originals Samba, plus a range of apparel and accessories.

Adidas Originals and BAPE reunite to bridge two worlds, producing a range that channels football’s global appeal through streetwear’s most distinctive aesthetic. This release prioritises energy over boundaries — the universal vibe that football generates. The collaboration merges BAPE’s bold visual language with American-inspired influences to reshape the contemporary football wardrobe, from match-day performance pieces to lifestyle staples.

Performance Boots Reimagined

Leading the lineup are two daring interpretations of adidas’ most innovative football boots — no safe choices here. The Predator appears in jungle camo with gold accents, its fold-over tongue nodding to nostalgia while establishing a fresh identity. The F50 shifts colour like floodlights catching smoke, scattered stars across the upper, and a shark’s bite stitched into the side. These boots belong not only on the pitch but also in the culture that surrounds it.

Apparel and Accessories

The same energy flows into the clothing. Camouflage kits merge streetwear with match-day style. BABY MILO graphics add a playful touch. Bags feel equally at home in the away end as they do on a Tokyo backstreet.

Samba Gets the BAPE Treatment

From the pitch to the pavement, the collaboration revives a classic adidas silhouette. The Samba — originally a football boot, now a lifestyle icon — receives aniline grained leather and a SKULL STA rubber overlay that replaces the traditional suede toe. Asymmetric branding adds edge: the right shoe features a BAPE STA™ on the lateral side and adidas 3-Stripes on the medial, while the left side reverses the arrangement. Two colourways — white with black/grey hits and black with white accents — include gold foil detailing and camo co-branded sockliners. BAPE deconstructs the classic and reloads it with their own DNA. Suede is out, SKULL STA is in. The branding flips, gold detailing shines. Both colourways respect the silhouette’s heritage while refusing to be predictable.

Marcelo Vieira Leads the Campaign

This collection thrives on contrasts — performance and lifestyle, tradition and innovation, East and West. Fronting the campaign is Marcelo Vieira, a player who embodied joy, flair, and freedom, redefining the left-back role. His journey mirrors the collection’s spirit: no borders, no limits, pure expression.
