Young Thug’s Sp5der Reportedly Spinning adidas Superstar Colab

Young Thug’s Sp5der imprint are reportedly crawling toward their first footwear linkup: a two-shoe project pencilled in for Spring/Summer 2026. The whisper first surfaced via sneaker leakers on X, with follow-on chatter pointing to internal style codes KJ7005 and KJ7021 – though no imagery yet, which tracks given how far out SS26 still is. Until either party breaks cover, treat this one as a rumour with legs (eight of them, to be precise) rather than a done deal.
While details are locked down tight, the collaborator fit makes sense. Sp5der – founded by Young Thug in 2019 – built their cult on loud web motifs and Atlanta-born energy, a visual language that could play noisy against the Superstar’s blunt-force shell toe. Guided by Young Thug’s vision, Sp5der have since established themselves as a bona fide player in hip-hop fashion.
Zooming out, adidas are clearly doubling down on the Superstar as a 2025–26 linchpin: we’ve already seen 2026-dated whispers for athlete-led spins like an Superstar. That broader drumbeat suggests the shell toe is primed for another pop-culture lap – fertile ground for Sp5der’s spiky branding if/when pairs emerge.
Key takeaways for now: two colorways, SS26 window, no photos yet, and no official confirmation from adidas or Sp5der. Given lead times, first looks typically surface closer to production – so expect leaks months down the line if timelines hold. We’ll update when assets, pricing, and retailer lists firm up; until then, chalk this up as one to watch on the Superstar’s 2026 scorecard.
