It’s all systems go for adidas on the Adistar Control 5 silhouette, the retro stability runner already tapped for multiple collaborations, including standout efforts by Larry June and Unheardof’s viral “Piggy Runners 2.0” collection. Keeping that momentum rolling, adidas has teamed up with SNIPES on a special “Be Loved” makeup centered around self-expression, self-care, and individuality.

New, mold-breaking materials meet a bright, spring-ready palette of red, pink, and purple tones, flipping traditional menswear expectations on their head. Red mesh sets the base, layered with pink pony hair overlays and an even louder pink across the stripes and tongue. Purple, pink, yellow, and green lace options keep in line with the self-expression theme, while a friendship bracelet-style hangtag with heart-shaped adidas logos drives the message home. Digital creator and Twitch streamer Raud fronts the campaign as its face and voice.

The adidas Adistar Control 5 “Be Loved” is available now via SNIPES for $120. See our Where to Buy section below to cop.
