New Photos Surfaced of the Unreleased Red Sp5der x adidas Superstar

After the fiasco with Yeezy and a fall from hype for the Samba, adidas spent the past few years in a rut, looking for the next path forward to renewed sneakerhead success. In 2025, The Three Stripes found just that with a renewed focus on artists and fashion labels, teaming up with Pharrell for the Jellyfish and some of the streetwear industry’s brightest young success stories for a collection of Superstars. With Young Thug’s Sp5der, adidas combined both approaches, and after dropping a gold Superstar colorway, the collab is still on our mind thanks to new photos of an unreleased red pair.

We first got a glimpse at the red Sp5der x adidas Superstar on the feet of Spanish Soccer Star Lamine Yamal in November of last year. Now, we’ve got a closer look at the candy apple patent leather colorway thanks to an Instagram post from sneaker and streetwear industry insider Lil Jupiter.

Featuring a full foot of red patent leather, the unreleased colorway features a black Sp5der logo on the tongue, moves the black Three Stripes logos forward, similar to the adidas Super Modified, and adds nearly-invisible spiderweb graphic inlays to the back half of the side panels. A silver metallic spider medallion hangs from the top lace loop to round out the creepy crawly theme.

As of now, there is still no public release date for this pair, so don’t expect to add them to your collection just yet. To stay up on all the latest adidas collab news and drop info, make sure to download the Sole Retriever mobile app.
