The Sp5der x adidas Superstar just got its first real moment in the wild, thanks to Lamine Yamal. The 18-year-old football phenom pulled up in a bold Red and Black colorway, signaling the start of a major collaboration era between Young Thug’s Sp5der brand and adidas. And honestly, this one feels like the right cultural alignment — music, streetwear, and global sport converging.
The shoe maintains the classic Superstar shell toe but shifts several key elements. The Black Three Stripes sit closer to the laces, echoing the adidas Supermodified. The tongues look slightly puffed, adding volume without going full skate shoe. Subtle spider web textures overlay the red leather, while a Sp5der charm and outsole branding tie the concept together. That’s the detail sneakerheads will catch immediately.
A second Brown and Yellow pair previewed earlier this year at Sp5der’s Sweet Tooth Rodeo event, suggesting a themed rollout rather than a one-off. And having Yamal debut the pair says a lot — Sp5der has always thrived in youth-driven style spaces.
The Sp5der x adidas Superstar collection is set for Spring 2026, alongside matching apparel and accessories.
