💫 Adidas and Pixar just turned Lightning McQueen and Tow Mater into real football cleats, and the details go way beyond a simple movie-logo collab.

Released as part of the 20th anniversary celebration of Cars, the pack puts McQueen on the low-cut Adizero Electric II and Mater on the higher-cut Adizero Impact II Mid.

Lightning’s pair goes full race-livery with a bright red upper, yellow lightning graphics, the #95, Rust-eze branding, sponsor-style decals, and his windshield eyes staring over the laces.

Even the Three Stripes are worked into the racing graphics, while the red cleated outsole makes it look like McQueen was literally translated into footwear.

Mater’s version might be even crazier, using rusty brown, faded blue, and aqua tones to mimic his weathered tow-truck body.

It also gets his eyes on the tongue, Tow Mater and Radiator Springs graphics, a grille-inspired lace detail, and even a small tow hook near the heel.

Underneath all the character work, these are legitimate performance cleats rather than display-only collectibles, with both models built on adidas’ Adizero football platforms.

Adidas currently lists the Lightning McQueen pair at $130 and Mater at $110, while DICK’S release calendar has shown them at $139.99 and $109.99 respectively.

With Cars nostalgia, football season, and adidas performance tech all landing in one drop, these feel like the kind of cleats that could become collectibles even for people who never plan to wear them on the field.

If you had to suit up in one pair, are you taking Lightning McQueen or Tow Mater?

What are your thoughts? 🤔💭
