The MENACE x adidas Adistar Control 5 "Heat Signature" Releases October 2026
Quick Summary
- MENACE collaborates with adidas on the Adistar Control 5 "Heat Signature," featuring a white, yellow, and red gradient upper mimicking a heatmap design.
- The shoe releases October 20th, 2026 via select retailers and adidas for a retail of $180.
- Dark purple overlays and black accents ground the vibrant gradient, with silver Three Stripes and MENACE branding reinforcing the collaborative identity.
Los Angeles brand MENACE is the latest to put its stamp on the adidas Adistar Control 5, following earlier collaborations with Unheardof and Larry June. The resulting colorway, called "Heat Signature," was first spotted on-foot at ComplexCon, where its vivid gradient construction drew immediate attention.
The upper builds around a white, yellow, and red gradient that sweeps across the sides and toe, mimicking the visual language of a heatmap. Black overlays sit on top of those brighter sections with a subtle shifting finish, while silver Three Stripes run along the sides alongside MENACE branding. Dark purple takes over much of the remaining upper, including the tongue and midsole, grounding the brighter gradient sections and giving the shoe a distinct two-toned character. Additional MENACE branding lands on the tongue to reinforce the collaborative identity throughout.
The MENACE x adidas Adistar Control 5 "Heat Signature" is set to release on October 20th, 2026 through select retailers and adidas for a retail price of $180. To stay informed on all things Adidas and to stay up to date with the latest releases, connect with us on Instagram and Twitter.
