Right, so picture this: Sam Handy, the adidas VP of Product Creative – basically, the king of cool kicks – drops a bombshell on his socials. Not just *any* bombshell, but a sneak peek at a ridiculously gorgeous F50 Spider x Kith Friends & Family edition football boot. Seriously, it’s the kind of exclusive drop that makes you want to be best mates with Handy and Ronnie Fieg, stat.
Rumours of an F50+ 'Spider' comeback have been swirling for ages – this iconic boot, originally launched in 2004, is legendary. But this? This is the real deal. This special edition, part of the killer adidas x Kith collaboration, is pure luxury. We're talking a dark brown upper with that signature spiderweb graphic, jazzed up with a snakeskin-patterned lace cover. Think seriously premium. And the chrome-bronze detailing on the heel? It’s next-level regal. The adidas and Kith branding? Don't even get me started; it's the perfect collab seal.
(And yes, I did just call a football boot "regal". Sue me.)
This isn't just a lazy re-release, though. Like other recent adidas remakes, this F&F edition stays true to the 2004 F50+'s heritage while upgrading the performance with a modern Sprintframe 360 outsole. Old-school vibes meet cutting-edge tech – winning combination, right?
We've seen some seriously fire drops from the adidas x Kith partnership this year, like those Predator Mania editions from the ‘Made in Germany’ line. But this? This is different. This is… rare. Exclusively for friends and family, this F50+ Spider x Kith is firmly in "holy grail" territory. It’s the kind of thing that'll only be seen on a select few lucky feet.
"Special" doesn't even begin to cover it. It's the ultimate "one that got away." Unless, of course, you happen to be BFFs with Sam Handy. Fingers crossed for a wider release of the F50 Spider though, because let's be honest, most of us aren't getting our hands on *this* particular beauty.
