Sole Play x adidas Predator Sala Releases June 13
Atlanta boutique Sole Play has partnered with adidas through the brand's Business Track program to deliver a gaming-inspired take on the Predator Sala futsal silhouette. The 'Press Play' collaboration launches exclusively June 13 at $150.

The collaboration channels cyberpunk aesthetics into a futsal frame, marking adidas's turn toward hyper-localized partnerships rather than blockbuster celebrity endorsements. Where the Three Stripes could lean on global star power, this project instead cedes creative direction to a community institution with deep roots in Atlanta's sneaker and streetwear ecosystem.
The Predator Sala 'Press Play' wraps itself in iridescent green-tinted leather, a material choice that catches light and conjures the gloss of a monitor screen. Red accents streak across the upper, while a saturated forest green dominates the outsole heel. The design choices feel purposeful rather than ornamental—each element reinforces the gaming premise without veering into pastiche.
Detailed execution separates this from standard collaborations. Sole Play included three interchangeable tongue covers and laces in red, green, and blue—options that extend the customization philosophy into the wearing experience. The heel detail stands as the centerpiece: circular lenticular buttons embossed with pause and play symbols mirror across the left and right shoe, a subtle nod to digital controls that feels earned rather than forced.
Anthony (TJ) Bennett, Sole Play's founder, positioned the collaboration as a statement on community-led innovation. In his framing, the project reflects Atlanta's history of creative problem-solving and cultural momentum—turning constraints into vision rather than waiting for external validation. That ethos extends to the futsal silhouette itself, a category rarely celebrated in mainstream sneaker discourse but foundational to the sport and street culture alike.
