The adidas F50 Formotion Sp5der Silver Metallic is a men’s collaboration sneaker combining the German brand’s soccer heritage with Young Thug’s Sp5der label in silver metallic throughout. SKU KZ6575 retails for $152.
This isn’t a straightforward streetwear crossover. Sp5der takes the classic F50 boot’s layered upper construction and pairs it with a chunky Formotion midsole, the kind of dense sole you’d find on early 2000s runners rather than soccer cleats. The result feels more like technical heritage than a simple meeting of two aesthetics. The low cut profile and heavy layering give the shoe real visual presence up close, with enough going on structurally to hold your attention if you’re the type who examines collabs closely.
Silver Metallic dominates the entire build from toe to heel, creating that chromed out finish that stands apart from what adidas normally does with the F50 line. The Sp5der branding hits the tongue and heel, backed up by the label’s signature spider hangtag. If you’ve seen the earlier Sp5der and adidas drops in gold and patent red, this represents a bigger swing into performance inspired silhouettes compared to those Superstar variations.
The shoe reads as a genuine creative statement rather than something designed around maximum appeal. Whether that approach lands for you probably depends on how you feel about technical shoes that don’t apologize for their proportions or how Sp5der’s aesthetic translates into sportswear DNA.
