Adidas has unveiled the first drop of the 'Adidas x Arte Antwerp FW26 Collection,' a collaboration with Belgian high-end streetwear brand Arte Antwerp.
This collection marks the second partnership between the two brands and captures the energy felt throughout stadiums and streets during the summer of 2026 when football fever was at its peak, as well as the stories of the people. It is characterized by a sensible reinterpretation of contemporary sportswear based on street culture.
The campaign features world-renowned football players Ibrahim Diaz and Trent Alexander-Arnold, showcasing their skills on the ground and stylish aesthetics. Additionally, creators from various fields—including rapper Mason Home, DJ Conductor, artist Bahatty, producers Zumadiba and SHB, and pro skater Jarryd—have joined to complete a single identity that breaks down cultural boundaries.
The design interprets 1990s football mood through European textile traditions. Based on creative director Bertoni da Silva's affection for Portugal and Belgium, the collection incorporates Belgian lace heritage and Portugal's sophisticated weaving and embroidery techniques, with details highlighted through the signature oversized silhouettes of the 1990s.
The first drop lineup is divided into apparel and footwear. The apparel consists of the Adidas Z.N.E. track top and track pants, and engineered jersey featuring punching details and a modern reinterpretation of Belgian lace. The footwear 'Adidas x Arte F50 Motion' reimagines the signature football shoe F50 as a lifestyle sneaker, featuring crinkle nylon material and comes in both black and white colorways.
Bertoni da Silva of Arte Antwerp stated, "Football is a lifestyle for self-expression and communication," adding that "we have captured football culture and people's stories together with various creators." Starting with this launch, Adidas plans to release two exclusive 'F50 Motion' versions on the Confirmed app during the FW26 season, followed by a second drop at year-end. Products will be available from August 4th at the official online store and the Gangnam brand center.
