BAPE x adidas Continue to Show Out on the Soccer Pitch

The World Cup is coming to the U.S., Canada, and Mexico in 2026, and sneaker brands are wasting no time ramping up exclusive products for the global event. After a recent World Cup capsule preview from BAPE x adidas for next year, the Japanese and German brands are dropping two pairs of cleats and two pairs of Sambas for players and fans alike.
On field, the duo comes correct with a pair of F50 Elites and a Predator Elite, both done in different renditions of BAPE’s signature ABC camo print. On the F50, a multi-colored pastel ABC camo print covers the upper, with pink camo on the toe slowly transitioning to red in the midfoot and blue in the back. The laces and tongue get opposite and alternating blue and pink colors, and both shoes are finished with chomping teeth on the toes.

The Predator comes coated in BAPE’s classic ABC Camo in green, black, and tan with a shark face graphic eyeing up the side panels next to gold stripes. The soccer cleats have white tongue covers with a gold BAPE head logo on the right shoe and adidas’ Three Stripes on the left.
Off the field, BAPE adds two new colorways of the collaborative Samba silhouette we saw last month. This time, the half BAPE logo/half Three Stripes Sambas get classic black/white and white/black colorways with dark gum soles. The Sambas both have Bape’s SKULL STA face on the t-toe, which is turned from suede to plastic for the collab.
The BAPE x adidas Football Pack will be released in September 2025 through BAPE, adidas, and select retailers in-store and online. Available in men’s sizing, the prices on the four shoes are still under wraps. Download the Sole Retriever mobile app to stay updated on the latest happenings in sneakers and streetwear.
