Soccer has officially lapped basketball as the go-to aesthetic in footwear, and no brand is riding that wave harder than adidas. While the Three Stripes has made plenty of noise on hardwood throughout its history, the pitch has always been its true stronghold. That dominance is bleeding further and further into street style, where slim-soled soccer silhouettes are everywhere.

With the soccer shoe trend showing zero signs of slowing down – especially as cleat-adjacent designs and archival terrace models continue gaining traction – we figured it’s about time to spotlight some of adidas’ strongest soccer-rooted propositions (more than just the Samba). From cult favorites to slept-on gems and MLS-inspired pairs, we’ve created a shopping guide that should have everyone covered – whether you’re an actual footy fan or just here for the look.

Dive into our full shopping guide below and hit adidas.com to browse all the Three Stripes has to offer.

An iconic soccer boot line meets street-ready style with the adidas Predator Sala. A sharp, aggressive Predator upper is paired with an EVA midsole and rubber outsole for comfort, suitable for playing indoors and hitting the pavement all the same. Several colorways are available now from the adidas website, including summer-worthy blue and beige looks as well as a more edgy “Core Black” pair with “Signal Green” accents.

The adidas Gazelle Indoor catalog has expanded greatly since the soccer shoe trend took off, rife with styles featuring unique detailing and texture swaps that speak to different aesthetics. There’s a ”Core Black/Cream White” colorway featuring a stitched toe for that soccer boot vibe, as well as a softer, cottagecore-adjacent knit pair with “Preloved Teal” accents. If your tastes are of the more traditional variety, we’ve also included an eye-catching “Core Black” suede option featuring “Solar Yellow” stripes.

This one’s for the true football fans, particularly those who champion MLS. adidas has set its sights on the growing stateside league with a lineup of Gazelles inspired by different clubs, including the Seattle Sounders, New England Revolution, and San Jose Earthquakes to name a few.
