adidas and SpongeBob SquarePants are teaming up for a new collaboration that transforms the Stan Smith silhouette into a playful and refined design. Scheduled for release in Fall 2025, the SpongeBob SquarePants x adidas Stan Smith Freizeit takes inspiration from SpongeBob’s signature glossy black work shoes, reimagining them through a modern lens.
SNEAKERS
The shoe features a matte black patent leather upper that mirrors the cartoon character’s iconic footwear while introducing a sleek finish that fits within the Stan Smith family. Contrasting white laces and a clean midsole create visual balance, giving the design a polished structure. On the tongue, SpongeBob’s smiling face adds a cheerful nod to the animated series, infusing the model with its lighthearted energy.
Inside, co-branded insoles unite SpongeBob’s bold graphic style with adidas branding, reinforcing the collaboration’s playful direction. This balance defines the Freizeit version, a silhouette that maintains the recognizable Stan Smith outline while introducing elevated updates suited for lifestyle wear. One of the defining features of this release is its chunky lug sole, which adds a distinct presence to the shoe.
This collaboration extends the legacy of the Stan Smith as a versatile canvas for reinvention. From luxury reinterpretations to pop-culture tributes, the model has long served as a foundation for creative experimentation. The SpongeBob edition continues that lineage, offering a version that feels both collectible and wearable. While it carries playful references to the underwater character, its black patent construction ensures it maintains a subtle, polished appearance suitable for everyday wear.
SpongeBob’s Stan Smith Freizeit is joined by a pink Patrick Star x adidas Superstar sneaker, keeping the longtime best friends side by side. The addition expands the collaboration’s playful spirit, uniting two of Bikini Bottom’s most recognizable characters across adidas’s most iconic silhouettes.
While pricing details remain unconfirmed, the SpongeBob SquarePants x adidas Stan Smith Freizeit is expected to release through adidas and select retailers in Fall 2025. Fans of the long-running series and sneaker enthusiasts alike will find in it a collaboration that reinterprets an animated classic through the lens of a fashion icon.
