Arte Antwerp’s adidas F50 Has Major Motion

adidas does bold sneakers very well. This is a well-documented fact that's never really been up for debate. That said, adidas is also quite proficient in austere sneakers. Add Belgium-based streetwear brand Arte Antwerp to the mix, and suddenly adidas is the poster child for sporty minimalism. At least that's what the F50 Motion x Arte Antwerp sneaker suggests.A retooled model of adidas' OG F50 boot, the F50 Motion reimagines the Three Stripes classic performance soccer sneaker as the ultimate streetwear shoe. Instead of the sturdy composition used to dress its pitch-bound predecessor, the F50 Motion is made with a feather-light nylon crinkle upper that's more akin to what you'd see on a jazzercise dance floor than any field-side pursuits. Fit checks? The F50 Motion was born ready. Nutmeging? Not so much.In addition to its sylphlike upper, the F50 Motion's outsole is slim but sturdy, perfect for traversing day-to-day urban adventures, like multi-hour pop-up queues or any number of bagel-related kerfuffles.Arte Antwerp's adidas F50 Motion, available online for $180, marks the fourth collaborative endeavor between the two.The duo first collabed in 2025, dropping the zipped-up Lightblaze POD. This was followed up with the super simple Trivela sneaker in 2026 and a patent leather version of the classic F50.In that respect, it was only a matter of time until Arte Antwerp and adidas fully sent it with an original sneaker that blends the Three Stripes sport-heavy identity with Arte's patent for streamlined simplicity.Highsnobiety has affiliate marketing partnerships, which means we may receive a commission from your purchase.
