The loudest shoe in the room just got louder. SP5DER’s second adidas Originals capsule puts the F50 Formotion in neon green and hot pink, and the tracksuits match that energy. Subtle was never an option. Yes, there’s a balaclava.
The collection pre-launches November 13 on SP5DER’s own store, then goes global November 14 through the adidas CONFIRMED app, select adidas stores, and select stockists. The shoe runs $200 in both colorways, in sizes 4.5 through 13.5.
A cleat upper on running tooling
The F50 Formotion pairs Formotion tooling, which adidas first built for running, with an upper inspired by the Adizero F50 III soccer cleat. That mix is the whole idea here, a pitch shoe’s face on a street runner’s body. It’s a strange recipe.

The green pair wears a breathable mesh upper with synthetic overlays, black Three Stripes, and a sculpted black midsole. SP5DER adds a removable metallic spider charm, co-branded detailing, and F50 branding at the toe, plus alternate black laces in the box.
The silhouette debuted in June in a silver colorway with leather overlays, pink accents, a lenticular badge, and a SP5DER graphic on the heel. Green and red skip the leather and go full synthetic shine instead. Leather stayed in June.
The store also sells the SP5DER F50 Adizero, the actual cleat this runner borrows its face from, at $190 in metallic silver. Ten dollars apart.
Green goes loud, red goes glossy
The red pair swaps the matte mesh look for glossy synthetic overlays over a red and hot pink base. Its midsole turns pink, the laces come tonal red, and an alternate pink lace set rides along in the box. Same shoe, different volume.
Both pairs keep the padded mesh collar and tongue, the molded heel support, and the rubber outsole. Pick your fighter.
The capsule around the shoe
The clothing half runs just as loud, with a nylon track top at $140 and matching track pants at $100 in black and pink. A graphic tee lands at $70 in white and black, and the balaclava, in black, pink, and red, is also $70. The shoe is the splurge.
The track top is a full-zip nylon piece with a stand collar, two front pockets, and a big spider-web graphic across the back flap. The pants get an elastic drawstring waist and zip ankle hems, and the black set runs reflective silver stripes while the pink set goes contrast.
The tee keeps things simple at 100% cotton with a puff print graphic on the front and a standard fit. The balaclava goes full coverage with a drop-front neck gaiter and reflective silver stripes on the black version. Small pieces, same web energy.
The bag deserves its own line. It’s a teardrop sling in CORDURA fabric with an embossed spider-web back panel, a side mesh pocket with a drawcord, and a silver metal spider charm.
That one’s $140. Head to toe, the full kit adds up fast, with the shoe, track top, and track pants at $440 before the tee or the bag joins in. The shoe stays the entry point.
Second act for a young label
SP5DER started in 2019, based in Los Angeles by way of Atlanta, and it designs from a luxury perspective with a punk spirit. This is the label’s second head-to-toe adidas capsule of the year, after the first one introduced the F50 Formotion in June.
The debut’s campaign put footballer Lamine Yamal in a fictional locker room, which tells you exactly which world this shoe wants to live in. On the street, it just looks like the boldest runner adidas sells this fall. That’s the pitch.
The CONFIRMED app is where adidas runs its limited drops, so the 14th means app alerts on and payment details saved. SP5DER’s own store gets the head start on the 13th.
Set the alarm for the 13th if you want first pick of sizes. The green pair fronts the campaign shots, so it’s the one most people will chase. The red pair plays it cooler in photos and louder in person. Choose before the queue does.

Buy the F50 Formotion if your rotation needs one pair that starts conversations by itself. At $200 with a metal spider hanging off it, the money feels fair for a cleat-turned-runner. Skip it if your closet runs quiet, since neon green forgives nothing.
