Pharrell Williams and adidas Jellyfish collaboration

Overview

The footwear collaboration between Pharrell Williams and adidas has expanded through the introduction of new colorways and potential model updates for the Jellyfish sneaker line.

Initial reveals focused on the Adistar Jellyfish in a “Core Black/Multicolor” palette, featuring a dark grey and black base with pale blue and volt accents. This model, characterized by a bulky, sculptural midsole, was expected to release in November 2026.

Following this, adidas announced additional colorways, including ‘Onix/Aurora’—which features glow-in-the-dark overlays—and a ‘Red’ iteration, both scheduled for release on October 24. Furthermore, reports emerged regarding a possible Adistar Jellyfish V2, a cleaner version of the original silhouette seen on Pharrell Williams at a Dior fashion show. While adidas has not officially confirmed the V2, multiple colorways of the updated design are anticipated in 2027.

Recent updates regarding the VIRGINIA Adistar Jellyfish lineup specify that the ‘Red’ and ‘Storm’ colorways are scheduled for release on October 24. The ‘Red’ version features a predominantly red upper with black Three Stripes and blue glow-in-the-dark TPU overlays, while the ‘Storm’ colorway utilizes shades of grey, black, steel blue, and volt green accents. These models, retailing for $300 USD, maintain the signature silhouette consisting of an engineered mesh upper, a sculptural cage, and a flowing midsole inspired by jellyfish movement.

On October 23, 2026, a new raspberry colorway of the PW adistar Jellyfish was introduced. This design continues the trend of moving away from traditional running shoe shapes, utilizing fluid, organic lines and a sculpted, wavy sole inspired by marine life.
