The first adidas x Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS capsule collection

adidas and Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS F1 Team today unveiled their first apparel line, marking the beginning of a new and exciting era for motorsport. Inspired by shared values of performance and excellence, the new collection, dedicated to both the team and fans, introduces an innovative aesthetic in the paddock, blending the needs of the sport with contemporary style. With this collection, adidas brings its 75 years of experience and attention to the needs of athletes in the motorsport world. Featuring a reinterpretation of sports aesthetics, the team’s new apparel, designed with specific cuts and performance technologies, offers maximum support to each team member during race weekends and a distinctive visual identity in the black, white, and aqua green colors of the Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS F1 Team.

Combining lifestyle aesthetics with elevated performance, the collection offers a complete range of apparel, footwear, and accessories for one of the most followed teams in motorsport. The range is complemented by a special edition of performance and lifestyle sneakers. Iconic running models like Ultraboost 5 and Supernova ensure comfort and high performance in the paddock, while other popular adidas sneakers allow fans to support the team in everyday life. Finally, technical and lifestyle caps designed to unite fans and make them feel part of the team complete the collection.

The debut of the oversized Three Stripes

The collection also introduces an important aesthetic novelty, the oversized Three Stripes by adidas, a first for the German company. These will appear on the National team kits for the 2026 North American World Cup. The oversized Three Stripes appear exclusively on the jacket in the collection in collaboration with Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS, and not on the t-shirts. The German company seems to want to introduce this change gradually or simply keep both versions for different occasions or garments.

Words from Bianca Masta and Kimi Antonelli

Bianca Masta, Product Lead at adidas, said: “This collection is the result of the hard work and dedication of our creative teams, who have worked to create a line that can support the performance of the entire team and, at the same time, be worn proudly by fans both in everyday life and during races. We believe that sport should be accessible to everyone, at any level, and motorsport is no exception. Together with the Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS F1 Team, the opportunity to bring the sport closer to a new audience is a great source of excitement for us, and we can’t wait to see the iconic Three Stripes in the paddock during the season”.

Also commenting on this was Kimi Antonelli, driver for Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS: “As a team, we’re really excited to collaborate with adidas. For me, especially as I prepare for my first F1 season, it’s even more special to have a partner who truly understands the mentality of an athlete. I’ll always remember the first time I wore the new kit with my teammates, and I can’t wait to see fans in the stands wearing it”.

The adidas x Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS F1 collection dedicated to fans is available on the online stores of adidas and Mercedes-AMG and at selected retailers.
