Sneaker Freaker reports that DIOS — the Houston streetwear brand whose name stands for 'Did It Ourselves' — has titled its latest adidas collaboration 'The Road Less Traveled', style code LA8160.

According to Sneaker Freaker, the base of the upper is ripstop fabric with a multicolour camouflage on the toe box, tongue and midway through the silhouette, while the back half and collar carry a dark green woodland camo print.

An unidentified pony hair pattern appears on the heel, which Sneaker Freaker reads as a nod to critters one might meet off the beaten path. Earthy suede and leather overlays, safety orange laces and 3M accents complete the build.

Both outlets point to the storytelling details: Sneaker Freaker notes DIOS branding lands in a graffiti-style bubble font on the tongue and insole, with the same acronym in gothic lettering layered atop a longhorn skull on the heel — a reference to the brand's Texan roots.

Sneaker Bar Detroit, which colors the shoe Camo/Orange, describes orange rope laces matching the graffiti-style DIOS lettering on the tongue, and leather with a darker pine green pattern taking over near the Three Stripes toward the heel.

Sneaker Freaker frames the release as proof of consistency: DIOS follows a car culture-inspired Megaride S2 earlier in 2026 and an initial Superstar XLG partnership in 2025, making the Control 5 its third adidas project — a run the outlet calls one of adidas' strongest consistent collaborator streaks.

Both Sneaker Freaker and Sneaker Bar Detroit report the DIOS x adidas Adistar Control 5 'The Road Less Traveled' launches on November 21, 2026, through DIOS, with a wider drop likely soon after, per Sneaker Freaker.

Sneaker Bar Detroit lists the style code as LA8160, the color as Camo/Orange, and the price as TBA. Sneaker Freaker also points readers to the Unheardof colab on the same model, which it says zooms onto shelves next month.
