adidas Originals dives deep into Bikini Bottom for a whimsical collaboration celebrating SpongeBob SquarePants. The brand reimagines two iconic silhouettes with premium materials, character-driven details and collectible packaging designed to delight sneakerheads and fans of the beloved animated universe. Both limited-edition models arrive just ahead of SpongeBob’s theatrical return.
This collaboration comes shortly after the show celebrated its 25th anniversary last year. Fans of the franchise and quality footwear will appreciate the thoughtful details in both designs.
The first release transforms SpongeBob’s signature dress shoes into a wearable silhouette. Patent black leather covers the upper, maintaining the classic Stan Smith template. This design sits on a chunky, ridged rubber outsole that provides comfort and vintage appeal.

Details matter here. The lace tips replicate SpongeBob’s white athletic socks. Pull out the graphic sock liner to discover a hidden squished Plankton print underneath. The packaging is noteworthy, too—each pair ships in a pineapple-print box accompanied by a boating license accessory.
The second model draws inspiration from SpongeBob’s loyal companion. A premium suede base in vapor pink is complemented by tonal accents and black stripes. The tongue lining features embroidered designs inspired by memorable episodes throughout the series.
Translucent, ocean-themed outsoles complete the look. Additional sock liners and extra laces mimic Patrick Star’s purple shorts. True to form, the packaging recreates the rock that Patrick calls home.
Both models will launch on November 20th through the adidas app and the Confirmed platform. Sign-ups begin November 13th. The collection will be available at select adidas Originals stores and partner retailers.
