This adidas Adistar XLG 2.0 is a Perfect Substitute for Pharrell’s Jellyfish

In the hunt for what many sneakerheads are calling a heavy sneaker of the year contender, Pharrell Williams’ adidas Adistar Jellyfish, more fans have been stung than have secured pairs. Not to worry, adidas planned for all the Ls Pharrell fans would be taking, and they’re ready with a clear substitute in the Adistar XLG 2.0.

The Adistar XLG 2.0 Grey is an exaggerated, chunky dad shoe with a similar shape to the ultra-hyped Jellyfish, even if it doesn’t have the same protruding TPU wings. The grey colorway of the XLG 2.0 is covered in varying shades of light grey, mixing a mesh upper with raised TPU reinforcements, and protruding TPU Three Stripes logos in two more shades of grey. The TPU on the XLG 2.0 doesn’t stick out as far as the Jellyfish, but the thought is similar, and the pricetag is definitely going to be less than Pharrell’s $300 dad shoe.
