Official images of the Coca‑Cola x adidas Adistar Control 5 sneaker have surfaced, showcasing one of the boldest variants from the collaboration, which spans the likes of ClimaCool 1, Samba and Superstar II.
Embracing a retro-futuristic 2000s running aesthetic, the silhouette is built upon a vibrant red mesh upper, complemented with a mix of metallic red overlays and crisp white accents that sweep across the quarters and toe cap, creating a glossy, multi-dimensional finish. This clever use of metallic sheen gives the sneaker a can-like brilliance, perfectly translating the beverage giant’s iconic identity into street-ready sportswear.
The defining, nostalgic centerpiece of the design is its cleverly reimagined tongue, which is sculpted to resemble the contour shape of a classic Coca-Cola glass bottle. This thematic detail is paired with matching red laces and a co-branded label. Tonal laces, sculpted quarters and adidas’ Three Stripes branding integrate seamlessly into the design, while the heel and midsole carry subtle detailing that balances performance cues with Coca‑Cola’s instantly recognizable identity.
