INVINCIBLE and adidas tailor the Samba with pleats

INVINCIBLE x adidas Consortium launches 'Form in Motion', the pair's first joint apparel collection, backed by two reworked Sambas. The INVINCIBLE x adidas Consortium capsule for fall/winter 2026 is built around pleats, gathers and panels that move with your body.

Earlier collaborations mostly added details to existing classics. This time INVINCIBLE goes after the construction itself. The idea: hidden layers that only show once you move.

The standout sneaker is called the Samba Dress Shoes. Brogue perforations and pinked edges run along the signature T-toe and the side profile, finishing you would normally see on a formal men's shoe.

The usual heel counter is replaced by ruched leather. The Samba Dress Shoes are exclusive to Asia.

The second Samba comes in Khaki and Brown. It keeps the familiar shape and branding but is heavily deconstructed. Panels are twisted and overlap, with raw seams left exposed.

Reinforcement stitching fills the open spaces. On the lateral side sits INVINCIBLE branding in gold foil.

Apparel with a hidden layer

Alongside the sneakers, the INVINCIBLE x adidas Consortium collection includes four apparel pieces: the G-8 Flight Jacket in Black and Brown, an L/S Knit Jersey in Blue and Brown, the 1 Tuck Track Pants and the 1 Tuck Track Sweat Pants.

The jacket has a pleat down the back that opens as you move. Only then do you see the Three Stripes.

The 1 Tuck Track Pants combine sharp front pleats with long-pile wool. The sweatpants get the same cut in heavyweight cotton.

Every piece also carries a woven adidas label you can tear away, revealing an embroidered INVINCIBLE logo underneath.

This isn't the first time the two have teamed up. Earlier projects include the Futurecraft 4D and the Handball Spezial.
