Lightning McQueen is leaving the fast lane for America’s slowest-paced pastime. As the Cars 20th anniversary celebration continues, adidas is bringing another cleat to the Lightning lineup, this time for the baseball diamond, just in time for the MLB’s Fall Classic.
The Cars x adidas Adizero Impact 3.0 Lightning McQueen follows a run of Crocs collabs and adidas Football drops for the movie’s 20th anniversary. The football cleat collection that dropped in September featured a matching Lightning McQueen pair in red and yellow, plus a Mater mid-top in brown and teal.

Keeping the sports theme going, the Adizero Impact 3.0 is perfect for the shortstop who doesn’t stop short, covering the upper in a shiny red base that perfectly matches Lightning’s cherry paint job. McQueen’s logos cover the toebox, with a 95 on the lateral heel and flames flying behind the gradient Three Stripes that start orange up top and end at red to match the spikes underfoot.
The Cars x adidas Adizero Impact 3.0 Lightning McQueen was released today October 15, 2026 via Dick’s Sporting Goods, but we’re still waiting on word of a wider release. Available in unisex sizing, the retail price is set at $100. To keep up with all the latest Cars collab news and drop info, download the Sole Retriever App.
