ADIDAS X BAPE FOOTBALL CAPSULE LANDS FALL 2025

Adidas and BAPE have unveiled a bold new collaboration, one that merges the worlds of football performance and streetwear in a way that feels both disruptive and inevitable. Launching on September 6, 2025, the capsule brings together cleats, sneakers, apparel, and accessories, all reimagined through BAPE’s distinct camo-driven lens. The collection is fronted by Brazilian icon Marcelo, a fitting choice for a campaign that emphasizes flair, culture, and storytelling as much as athletic performance.

At the heart of the drop are two standout boots: the Predator Elite FT and the F50 Elite FG. The Predator arrives cloaked in green ABC camo with metallic gold stripes, a fierce shark face graphic, and mismatched branding, BAPE and adidas split across the tongues. The F50 takes a more playful approach, with a pastel gradient camo that fades from pink to red to blue, accented with embroidered stars and alternating sockliner colors. Both cleats reflect the dual identity of the project: technically precise, but unapologetically loud.

Off the pitch, the collaboration turns to lifestyle with a reinvented Samba. This version swaps the traditional suede toe for a SKULL STA rubber overlay, pairs aniline-grained leather with gold foil branding, and incorporates mismatched detailing, BAPE STA™ on one shoe, adidas stripes on the other. Finished with camo-patterned sockliners, the Samba makes clear that this partnership isn’t just about football—it’s about cultural presence. Retailing at around $160 USD, the sneakers will be available through CONFIRMED, adidas.com, BAPE stores, and select global retailers.
