adidas Y-3 Drops F50 Tunit 'Beast' Pack With Hugo Ekitike
Yohji Yamamoto's three-stripe line reconnects with football culture through a partnership with rising French striker Hugo Ekitike, who steps into the retro adidas F50 Tunit for the 'Beast' Pack. The collaboration channels the iconic performance silhouette into contemporary streetwear territory.

The adidas Y-3 imprint has long operated at the intersection of avant-garde tailoring and sports utility, and this latest pivot toward the F50 Tunit lineage reinforces that duality. Hugo Ekitike, whose profile has risen sharply in European football circles, brings an athlete's credibility to a shoe that originally defined a generation of pitch-level innovation. The 'Beast' Pack frames this retro release as both a nod to adidas's competitive DNA and a statement about how heritage silhouettes gain new cultural currency through contemporary partnerships.
The F50 Tunit represented a significant moment in football boot design when it debuted—a modular system that allowed players to customize fit and performance. Y-3's reinterpretation doesn't simply dust off the archive; instead, it channels that same spirit of customization and precision into a package designed for the court and the street alike. The collaboration underscores how Yohji Yamamoto continues to find relevance by treating functional sportswear as material for editorial reinvention.
Ekitike's involvement signals adidas's ongoing strategy of embedding emerging athletes into collaborative narratives rather than relying solely on established superstars. The partnership positions the F50 Tunit as a statement piece for a new era of football-inflected design, where technical heritage and contemporary aesthetics merge without compromise.
