Rick Owens has teamed up with adidas to turn the Springblade technology into the basis of a new collection with a futuristic design. The Rick Owens x adidas Springblade Fall 2026 line includes two pairs of low-top trainers and the high-top Springblade Boot.
The main feature of the footwear is a sole made of separate springy polymer elements resembling small blades. It is this unusual design, developed by adidas back in the early 2010s, that has now become the main visual element of the collection.
The low-top Springblade Runner features an upper made of mesh textile and leather, large adidas three stripes and an elongated silhouette. It is available in Light Brown and Core Black. But the Springblade Boot looks the most unusual: the voluminous textile shaft with folds and gathers contrasts with the rigid, almost mechanical construction of the sole.
The original Springblade technology appeared in 2013 after six years of development. The separate elements of the sole were designed to compress on contact with the surface and return energy with the next step.
The collection will be released on 17 November. The Springblade Runner will cost $590, and the Springblade Boot $850.
Sales will take place through adidas CONFIRMED, the official adidas and Rick Owens platforms and selected retailers.
