adidas ClimaCool OG F50+ “Argentina” Channels 2006 Steez

With World Cup fever already simmering, adidas is once again leaning into football nostalgia with a lifestyle release that feels perfectly timed. The adidas ClimaCool OG F50+ “Argentina” pulls direct inspiration from the golden era of early-2000s speed boots, reworking the iconic Climacool silhouette through the lens of the F50 franchise and Argentina’s unmistakable national identity.

At the heart of the design is the original adidas Climacool from 2002, a model long celebrated for its breathable construction and futuristic look. Here, that foundation is refreshed with a crisp white mesh upper, accented by soft sky blue and metallic gold details that nod to Argentina’s historic World Cup legacy. Curved Three Stripes replace the traditional TPU cage, giving the shoe a sleeker, more fluid profile while still preserving its performance-rooted DNA.

The F50 influence shows up in the details. A reinforced canvas panel wraps the toe box, complete with subtle blue and gold F50 branding along the sides, while the tongue and eyelets follow suit in matching textile finishes. The original TPU toe cap remains intact, grounding the sneaker firmly in its early-2000s origins. Around the heel, Argentina’s signature striping brings the concept home, tying the shoe directly to the Albiceleste’s iconic kits.

While the adidas F50 lineage has already crossed into lifestyle territory through models like the Taekwondo, Megaride, and upcoming F50 Adiframe, the ClimaCool OG F50+ “Argentina” feels like one of the most faithful blends of pitch heritage and streetwear appeal yet. It’s a release that speaks as much to longtime football fans as it does to sneaker collectors chasing archival revivals.

An official release date hasn’t been announced, but with the World Cup approaching and Messi’s F50 "Argentina" boot revival set to land soon, expect this pair to arrive right as football nostalgia hits full throttle.
