Real Madrid and adidas have unveiled a striking new adidas Originals collection, combining the Spanish giants’ unmistakable identity with a heavy dose of retro football style.
The latest Real Madrid adidas collection moves away from modern performance wear and instead embraces the aesthetic of classic football clothing, with white, black and purple dominating a range that includes a retro shirt, tracksuits, jackets and lifestyle pieces.
At the centre of the collection is a white adidas Originals shirt that looks as though it could have been taken directly from the football terraces of the 1990s.
Real Madrid Retro Shirt Takes Centre Stage
The standout piece is undoubtedly the white Real Madrid adidas Originals shirt.
Predominantly white, the jersey features bold geometric shoulder panels combining purple, black and white, creating an unmistakably retro appearance. A subtle tonal pattern runs through the white body of the shirt, adding further detail without taking attention away from the contrasting shoulders.
Instead of adidas’ modern Performance logo, the famous Trefoil appears above the Real Madrid crest in the centre of the chest.
The shirt is also completely free of a front sponsor, giving the design an unusually clean finish and allowing the Real Madrid badge and adidas branding to become the focal points.
A wide V-neck collar completes a design clearly influenced by classic football shirts from previous decades.
Purple, Black and White Tracksuit
The retro theme continues throughout the accompanying Real Madrid adidas tracksuit.
Black provides the foundation of the collection, with large purple and white panels creating a distinctive colour-blocked appearance across the jacket and trousers.
The Real Madrid crest is embroidered prominently onto the jacket, while adidas Originals branding provides another nod towards the sportswear designs of the past.
Matching black trousers feature purple sections down the legs alongside white detailing, allowing the complete tracksuit to reproduce the same colour palette as the shirt.
It is a look that should appeal just as much to collectors of vintage-inspired football clothing as supporters looking for everyday Real Madrid apparel.
adidas Originals Styling Meets Real Madrid
One of the most interesting aspects of the collection is the decision to lean so heavily into adidas Originals rather than contemporary football performance styling.
The Trefoil logo, oversized colour blocking, relaxed silhouettes and use of purple all give the range a distinctly nostalgic character.

Purple has a particularly strong association with Real Madrid and has appeared across numerous memorable kits and training collections throughout the club’s history. Combining it with black and the traditional Real Madrid white therefore creates a collection that feels both new and familiar.
The launch imagery reinforces that retro approach, with the collection photographed against an understated industrial backdrop and styled more like vintage streetwear than conventional football training apparel.
Real Madrid adidas Originals Collection 2026
The new range demonstrates why retro football fashion continues to have such a significant influence on modern kit and clothing design.
Rather than simply reproducing an old Real Madrid shirt, adidas have taken recognisable elements of 1990s football culture and reworked them into a contemporary collection.
The sponsorless white shirt is likely to attract much of the attention, but the black, purple and white tracksuit pieces are equally distinctive and make this one of Real Madrid’s most overtly retro-inspired adidas releases of recent times.
For supporters of Real Madrid shirts, classic adidas football clothing and vintage football fashion, there is plenty to like about the latest collection.
