adidas Originals x SP5DER Reimagines Supermodified Superstar With Co-Branded Apparel

A limited pre-launch for the adidas Originals x SP5DER Supermodified Superstar lands on KINGSPIDER today, February 27, 2026, with a global release slated for March 3, 2026 via the adidas CONFIRMED app, KINGSPIDER, select adidas Originals stores and selected retailers; SoleRetriever reports the sneakers at $150 and the co-branded T-shirts at $70. The collaboration centers on a reworked Superstar silhouette and a tactile apparel anchor - the puff-print "I Love Sp5der" T-shirt that swaps a heart for the adidas Trefoil.

SP5DER is Young Thug’s streetwear imprint, conceptualized in 2019 and based in Los Angeles with Atlanta roots. The label’s disruptive, punk-inspired aesthetic informs the partnership, positioning the Supermodified Superstar as an aggressive reinterpretation of adidas heritage rather than a retro reissue. Early leaks and a surprise black/gold preview at the start of 2026 fed community anticipation ahead of today’s KINGSPIDER drop.

The sneaker itself is built on the Supermodified Superstar platform with premium patent leather uppers. Reporting varies on the texture treatment, so the upper is described here as a spider web graphic pressed into the patent leather; Hypebeast framed it as "wrapped in premium patent leather uppers that are completely debossed with the brand’s signature spider web motif." Metallic heel accents and an icy, translucent tooling underfoot complete the upper-to-sole transition.

A radical Three Stripes treatment gives the silhouette its attitude. Hypebeast described the stripes as "stressed, significantly bolder, and pushed further up the forefoot for an aggressive, forward-leaning stance," while Sneakerjagers called the result a "fat skate-style aesthetic." Complex noted the stripes have been shifted toward the toe box, reinforcing the forward‑motion profile that distinguishes this Supermodified from standard Superstars.

Branding and extras lean into collectibility. Complex reports SP5DER branding stamped on the tongue, the heel of the midsole, and across the outsole. Each pair ships in a special corrugated box stuffed with a set of thick laces; the Core Black SKU KJ7005 includes Solar Green, Sp5der Pink and Sp5der Yellow laces, while the Red SKU KJ7021 includes White, Sp5der Yellow and Sp5der Pink. A laser‑engraved spider keychain or spider-shaped hangtag is included with each pair.

The capsule’s apparel centerpiece is an "I Love Sp5der" puff-print T-shirt available in black and white, featuring star and spider web graphics alongside the Trefoil-in-place-of-heart motif. SoleRetriever lists the shirts at $70. Packaging and presentation follow the sneaker’s collector framing, with numbered SKU references and coordinated lace swaps reinforcing the collaboration’s handshake between SP5DER’s iconography and adidas Originals.

Availability splits into a limited KINGSPIDER pre-launch today, February 27, 2026, and a global rollout on March 3, 2026 through the adidas CONFIRMED app, KINGSPIDER and selected retailers; SKU codes for the two colorways are KJ7005 for Core Black and KJ7021 for Red. Retail pricing beyond SoleRetriever’s report and the exact emboss versus deboss production method, plus a definitive list of participating retailers and regional pricing, have not been published by adidas or SP5DER at this time. Expect demand to be measurable when adidas CONFIRMED opens entries on March 3, as the collection fuses SP5DER’s street punk signatures with an aggressively modified adidas staple.
