adidas and Coca-Cola turn the Predator Sala into a silver sneaker

adidas and Coca-Cola are turning the Predator Sala into the kind of sneaker that feels built for the terrace and the feed at the same time. The pair lands in Silver Metallic / None / Grey Two, with a synthetic upper, textile lining, and rubber outsole, but the real hook is the Diet Coke reference running through the design. adidas says the droplet effect across the upper is meant to suggest the moment a cold can is opened, while adidas branding sits on the tongue and Coca-Cola branding hits the heel. The product code is KH6906, and this is the sneaker in the collection that feels most immediately wearable, not just collectible.

That matters because this collaboration is not chasing novelty for its own sake. The Predator Sala already carries soccer DNA, and Coca-Cola’s branding gives it a clean, high-contrast finish that reads more street than souvenir. Highsnobiety called it one of the more wearable pairs in the lineup, and that tracks: the silver palette lands in that sweet spot between retro sports shoe and fashion sneaker, the kind of colorway that can disappear under baggy denim or pop hard with track pants and a matchday kit. It is soda-core nostalgia, but with actual shelf appeal.

The sneaker arrives as part of the adidas Originals x Coca-Cola collection launching June 6, 2026 through adidas destinations, the adidas CONFIRMED app, adidas.com, and select retailers. adidas says the two brands first teamed up in 2002 for that summer’s tournament, and this return lands 24 years later with FIFA World Cup 2026 as the frame. The campaign is titled Originals are the Real Thing, which is exactly the right amount of cheek for a collab that knows how recognizable both logos are without overexplaining them.

The wider lineup extends the same idea across adidas icons, including the Adistar Control 5, Climacool 1, Megaride F50, and additional Coca-Cola-inspired takes across footwear, apparel, and accessories. adidas says each pair was reimagined to look like a different Coca-Cola can, while the Megaride F50 nods to the glass bottle. Track tops, jerseys, shorts, T-shirts, and a bright red airliner bag round it out, with Lamine Yamal fronting the campaign films. The result is a crossover that works because it treats branding like texture, not costume, and that is what makes it feel ready for the street right now.
