adidas and Audi Revolut F1 Team join forces to rewrite the motorsport style guide by digging through the archives of the beautiful game. This is a full throttle collision of 2006 football nostalgia and the pinnacle of high performance racing.

adidas dug into the archives to revive the Teamgeist silhouette; the curvy, panelled look that defined the 2006 World Cup. Seeing Nico Hulkenberg and Gabriel Bortoleto trade fireproofs for something that looks more at home on a pitch in Munich is the cross we didn't know we needed.
£220.00
The collection uses curved panels across the chest and sides to mimic that classic "eight shape" from the +Teamgeist match ball.
“Inspired by the 2006 Teamgeist design, the bold colors reflect the city’s aesthetic that feels authentic to the moment.” — Michael Batz, Motorsport Category GM at adidas
While the structure says Germany '06, the palette is pure "Magic City." The drivers’ jersey swaps out dull sponsor blocks for soft pinks and blues set against a deep black base.
Iridescent finishes on the three stripes and the Audi four rings shimmer like oil on wet tarmac. It’s a smart move; capturing the neon glow of Ocean Drive without going too hard.
For the sneakerheads, the Megaride F50 is the standout. It features spiderweb panels over a black mesh base; a direct nod to the 2005 F50 Spider boot.
If you remember Djibril Cissé tearing up Premier League defences in those, you’ll appreciate the depth of this reference. Bringing a 21 year old football boot design into a 2026 F1 collaboration shows adidas actually respects the subcultures it's tapping into
Motorsport merch doesn’t always fit the lifestyle category. This collection kills that trope. By leaning into football nostalgia, adidas bridges the gap between fans of two major sports, all while making merchandise that you can use in all sorts of scenarios.
“Miami sits at the intersection of sport, lifestyle and culture, and with both the F1 and the FIFA World Cup set to arrive in the city, we looked to the past to bring two sporting worlds, racing and football, together.” — Michael Batz
