adidas x Brain Dead x Disney Predator Releases June 29
adidas has united Brain Dead and Disney for an unlikely three-way collaboration on a reworked Predator silhouette rooted in 1994 design language. The June 29 release blends soccer heritage with '90s nostalgia across footwear and apparel, anchored by a modular pin-holding system that elevates the typical collab framework.

The Predator model serves as the canvas for this unconventional creative partnership. Rather than a direct retake on the iconic 1994 cleat, the trio has repositioned the upper's distinctive black-and-white blocking onto a street-ready sole unit—replacing traditional soccer spikes with a black rubber lug pattern. Reinforced leather welting at the toe and heel grounds the silhouette in craft, signaling that this is as much a design statement as it is a collectible artifact.
The collaborative philosophy reveals itself most clearly in the removable foldover flaps system. One flap comes perforated to house a set of six vintage Disney character pins, a mechanism that transforms the shoe into a quasi-display object. The counterpoint arrives in patent leather black, restoring visual equilibrium and ensuring the piece reads as wearable rather than purely decorative.
Beyond footwear, the apparel range extends this nostalgic thread with unofficial Brazil-inspired jerseys and supporting pieces. A standout scarf features Mickey Mouse executing a header—a visual that captures the collision of Disney's graphic language and soccer culture with genuine wit. Co-branded insoles and packaging details underscore the thoroughness of the collaboration.
