adidas Originals and Coca-Cola are teaming up once again for a new collection celebrating the FIFA World Cup 2026.
Under the title "Originals are the Real Thing," references from both brands' archives meet contemporary silhouettes, while 2000s street style, classic sports aesthetics, and the visual DNA of two brands that have shaped pop culture, sport, and everyday life for decades come together.

adidas Originals and Coca-Cola previously collaborated for the World Cup in 2002. Now, 24 years later, both brands continue that story, translating it into a new drop spanning apparel, footwear, and accessories.
Stylistically, the collection moves between two worlds: a graphic, logo-heavy design language and a vintage aesthetic inspired by past decades.
The footwear lineup features four Coca-Cola-inspired reissues of well-known adidas models from the 2000s: ADISTAR CONTROL 5, Predator Sala, Climacool 1, and MEGARIDE F50.

Each model picks up characteristic details from Coca-Cola cans, while the MEGARIDE F50 also references the classic Coca-Cola glass bottle through its design.
The apparel collection includes Track Jackets, Jerseys, Shorts, and T-Shirts, all developed jointly by adidas Originals and Coca-Cola. The drop is rounded off by a vibrant red travel bag.

A standout piece is a striking Jersey that brings together advertising motifs from different eras of Coca-Cola’s history in a modern design.
The collection is accompanied by a summer campaign that captures the spirit of both brands. At its heart is a campaign film following a group of distinctive characters on their journey to the FIFA World Cup 2026. It is all about originality, movement, and the idea that authentic characters make the world more vibrant.
The adidas Originals x Coca-Cola Originals are the Real Thing collection launches on June 6th and will be available at the following retailers: AFEW, Asphaltgold, BSTN, HHV and Schrittmacher.
