adidas and Arte Antwerp debut their first capsule collection, delivering a refined take on sportswear rooted in football culture and shaped by North African influence. The head-to-toe range spans apparel, footwear, and accessories, blending adidas’ performance heritage with Arte’s elevated streetwear sensibility.
The collection pays homage to the role football plays in Morocco and across the African diaspora, where the game functions as a unifying force that transcends borders, backgrounds, and identities. Seasonal colorways of red, green, white, and black reference North African flag colors, while artisanal embroidery and intricate lace trims bring a sense of craft and cultural depth to familiar sportswear silhouettes.
Arte’s design language—shaped by founder Bertony Da Silva’s Angolan roots and European upbringing—intersects with adidas’ global football DNA to spotlight stories often left untold within the sport. This narrative is reinforced through a campaign shot in Morocco by Ilyes Griyeb, whose documentary-style photography captures everyday life around a local football pitch in Marrakech. Additional imagery featuring footballer Brahim Díaz further reflects the collection’s focus on athletes of the African diaspora and their layered cultural identities.
Key pieces include reworked ADIDAS Z.N.E. tracksuits, knitted long-sleeve jerseys, and graphic t-shirts featuring Arabic text on the back translating to “Sport Unites Africa.” These are paired with coordinated jerseys and shorts, all defined by clean silhouettes elevated through considered detailing. Accessories such as sling bags, caps, and socks extend the palette, while footwear offerings include the Lightblaze POD ZIP, embroidered Adilette slides, and the upcoming Trivela sneaker arriving in early 2026.
The adidas x Arte Antwerp capsule collection is available now via adidas.com, the adidas app, and selected retailers, offering a thoughtful celebration of football, culture, and community.
