Quick Fire° Facts

• adidas honors the Argentine roots of Thrasher Magazine founder Fausto Vitello with nine-piece skateboarding capsule

• apparel, footwear, and accessories feature callouts to argentina & the Asociación del Fútbol Argentino (AFA)

• A special-edition predator 26 football boot has been produced as well

• the skate-inspired collection releases monday, june 1, 2026

According to the Three Stripes, "the collection merges the heritage of each partner into a unified design language. The recognizable Argentinian colors and AFA iconography are blended across the apparel range alongside Thrasher's own unique identity, creating a true collective expression—steeped in history yet built for what’s next."

Nine pieces reference iconic Argentina football designs—namely the ‘94 World Cup™ kit, which was worn in the U.S.A. The capsule's Glenburn shoe is a timeless adidas Skateboarding offering and influenced by football shoes of the past.

All items release via adidas.com on Monday, June 1.

Earlier in the month, Julián Alvarez, Máximo Perrone, and Nicolás Paz were spotted in t-shirts and crewneck sweaters that also featured Thrasher branding and skateboard motifs alongside 3-Stripes logos and callouts to the Argentine Football Association (AFA) ahead of friendlies in Buenos Aires. These apparel styles are likely part of a larger adidas Originals capsule that will also include football gear in order to build hype for the 2026 World Cup™ tournament.

Although most details remain under wraps, a linkup between Thrasher, adidas, and AFA bears semblance to Nike's Cryo Shot Federation Collection, which invites different fashion labels to work on football-inspired product with select national teams.

As the "skateboard bible" to many skaters in Argentina, Thrasher has earned its place within Argentine culture.

De Paul's preview of the skate-inspired adidas Predator showcases a predominantly black-colored set of boots. Thrasher-approved flames engulf the forefoot, introducing an Argentina-friendly gold-and-light blue into the mix that matches with the 2026 Argentina Home jersey. Golden "Thrasher Magazine" text appears on the right boot's fold-over tongue, while the left boot features adidas' Badge of Sport emblem.

If the scale of the Thrasher x adidas x Argentina collaboration is as big as some of the Three Stripes' other projects, expect the skate influence to appear on Copa and F50 boots, training apparel, and other items as well.

The boot is not expected to release and is exclusive to friends and family for now.
