  • The pack features Predator, F50 and COPA in a striking Solar Red colourway with black and gold detailing inspired by the FIFA World Cup™ trophy
  • For the first time ever, the FIFA World Cup™ trophy is featured across a boot pack – appearing on the heel counter of each model

 Today, adidas unveils the ‘Road to Glory’ pack, its new boot pack designed for football’s biggest stage, the FIFA World Cup 2026™. Built for the moments that define careers and cement legacies, the pack unites Predator, F50 and COPA under one bold design language inspired by the ultimate prize in world football.

Landing in a vibrant Solar Red base, each boot features black detailing and gold accents that take inspiration directly from the iconic FIFA World Cup™ trophy. For the first time ever, the trophy itself is integrated into the design of each boot, appearing on the heel counter, and serving as a constant reminder of the glory every player is chasing.

Headlining the F50 is the F50 HYPERFAST EVO, adidas’ lightest ever boot to feature at the FIFA World Cup™, weighing just 130g. Every detail of the boot has been designed with speed in mind, combining cutting-edge materials and precision engineering to enable rapid acceleration and sharper changes of direction, including:

  • F50 SHELL EVO: Ultra-light mesh upper delivering structure with minimal weight
  • F50 SPEEDSYSTEM EVO: A hyper-light soleplate with a stiff internal core for explosive movement and traction
  • F50 CAGE+: Adaptive TPU skin providing secure lockdown during high-speed play
  • FLOATING TONGUE: Lightweight construction for enhanced fit and reduced slippage
  • Complementing the EVO model are the F50 Elite Laced and Laceless boots, which incorporate performance-enhancing technologies such as F50 SKIN+, SPRINTWEB+, and F50 SPEEDSYSTEM+, delivering elite-level ball control and responsiveness at top speed.
  • The Predator FT features NANOSTRIKE+ for enhanced grip and striking precision, the iconic FOLD-OVER TONGUE for a clean strike zone, a STRIKEFRAME outsole for traction and stability, and POWERSPINE for added midfoot support when striking the ball. Designed for high-pressure moments, Predator enables players to execute with confidence when it matters most.
  • Completing the pack is COPA, crafted for players who prioritise touch, feel and connection with the ball. Blending heritage with innovation, COPA delivers a premium barefoot sensation, enabling effortless control and composure under pressure — key attributes when chasing success on football’s biggest stage.
  • Road to Glory will be worn on pitch by some of football’s biggest names throughout the tournament, including Ousmane Dembélé and Lamine Yamal in F50, Jude Bellingham and Pedri in Predator, and Declan Rice in COPA, as the world’s best compete on football’s grandest stage.
  • Key Bafana Bafana players who will be wearing the boots in the opening game against Mexico on 11 June include: Thalente Mbatha, Relebohile Mofokeng, and Evidence Makgopa in the F50, with Ronwen Williams in the COPA.
  • The pack is available from today, at select adidas stores and retailers and online at adidas.co.za.
