Young Thug’s Sp5der Links With adidas on the F50 Formotion Pack
The label-to-brand pipeline in hip hop has a new headline piece. Sp5der — the label and brand built by Young Thug — has reunited with adidas Originals for a full collection headlined by the F50 Formotion, the hybrid silhouette that takes its upper from adidas’ Adizero F50 III soccer boot and sits it on running-derived tooling. After the pack debuted in chrome earlier this year, the follow-up goes the opposite direction: two bright, high-contrast colorways built to be seen from across the street.
The first pair comes in slime green with black accents — a volt-bright upper cut through with black stripes and detailing. The second pairs red with neon pink, just as loud in the other direction. Both carry Sp5der’s signature web energy and punk streak, and both land at $200 a pair. This is a soccer boot silhouette fully claimed as streetwear: no studs, no pitch, just the speed lines and sculpted shape of the F50 translated for everyday wear.
The footwear does not arrive alone. The collection runs head to toe, with web-print tracksuits, graphic tees, a black Cordura backpack with a debossed web graphic, and co-branded balaclavas rounding it out, with apparel and accessories ranging from $70 to $140. It is the clearest sign yet that adidas is treating Sp5der not as a one-off collaboration name but as a recurring partner with a full wardrobe attached — the first footwear link-up, a take on the Superstar, already feels like ancient history.
The rollout comes in two steps. The collection pre-launches Friday, November 13, 2026 through Sp5der’s own store, KINGSPIDER.CO. A wider release follows Saturday, November 14 through the adidas CONFIRMED app, adidas channels and select stores — the now-familiar pattern of giving the label’s own audience first access before the global drop opens up.
That pattern is the real story here. A generation ago, a rap label putting its name on a shoe was a licensing footnote. Sp5der is something else: a label that operates as a fashion brand in its own right, with its own store, its own drop calendar and enough pull to anchor a two-day, two-channel rollout with one of the biggest sportswear companies on earth. When a footwear collaboration like this lands, it is not a rapper borrowing fashion’s credibility — it is a hip hop brand exercising its own.
For Culture watchers, the F50 Formotion pack is worth marking down as the moment the Sp5der x adidas run stopped looking like an experiment. Two colorways, a full apparel capsule and a staggered global release is what an established partnership looks like. The pairs hit KINGSPIDER.CO on Friday, November 13 and adidas CONFIRMED on Saturday, November 14 — expect the green pair, the one Sp5der has been teasing hardest, to move first.
