Pharrell Williams has a Swarm of adidas Adistar Jellyfish
Published
Who would have thought that in today’s sneaker landscape a $300 chunky dad shoe from adidas (not Yeezy) would be a smash hit? Well, Pharrell Williams’ adidas Adistar Jellyfish proves that the enlarged sneaker trend is alive and well, and Skateboard P still has juice in the collab footwear realm.
Pharrell's attention has drifted away from working with adidas after becoming head of men’s fashion at Louis Vuitton, slowly dripping out a few adidas projects since then, like the Superstar 92, Adizero Adios Pro Evo 1, and Humanrace adidas Samba Pack.
Since its initial unveiling at Paris Fashion Week in January, Pharrell Williams’ adidas Adistar Jellyfish has been one of the most anticipated sneakers of 2025, and backing up this online chatter was an instant sellout on release day over the weekend. Below, we’ve highlighted every single Pharrell Williams x adidas Adistar Jellyfish seen thus far.

The debut rendition of the exaggerated version of Adistar Cushion 3.0 features a clean white, black, and grey color palette accented by orange overlays. This was the pair that Pharrell and adidas first showcased back in January, and it’s been the most photographed so far. As mentioned above, the pair instantly sold out on release day on August 23, and prior to this, a pre-release on Pharrell’s Black Yacht Rock site also sold out with the quickness.

All-black kicks are not the best representation of a design's potential, but they do provide what is arguably the most versatile color scheme possible. Back in June, Pharrell’s new Jellyfish sneaker appeared in a stealthy, versatile triple black color scheme during Paris Fashion Week. As mentioned, you can’t really get a sense of what the model has to offer with the raised TPU paneling matching the black mesh base below. However, the sneaker was previewed alongside another color scheme.

Seen alongside the aforementioned Triple Black Adistar Jelly is this White Royal Blue. The pair was also previewed directly by Pharrell on his Skateboard Instagram account alongside a slew of other colorways, with this pair opting for a white, grey, and black look accented by royal blue overlays.

Initially revealed in the background of Pharrell’s Black Yacht Rock website, the Pharrell Williams x adidas Adistar Jellyfish White Green follows the same formula as the other colorful pairs by using the accenting shade on one of the 3D TPU overlays. The rest of the sneaker opts for cream, grey, black, and white. Pharrell himself would also be spotted rocking the color scheme during the Miami stop on Clipse’s latest tour.

Realistically, this White Grey colorway of the adidas Adistar Jellyfish is the cleanest offering previewed thus far. The pair was originally spotted on the feet of Malice, Pusha T’s brother and the other half of Clipse, who have known Pharrell Williams since childhood. The duo has long championed and co-signed Pharrell’s designs, and during the rollout of Clipse’s Let God Sort ‘Em Out, both Push and Malice were spotted wearing the Adistar Jellyfish in different colorways.

Pharrell Williams presented his Spring/Summer 2026 Louis Vuitton Collection in June, ending the show by walking down the runway in an unseen pair of the adidas Adistar Jellyfish in a brown and yellow color scheme. The pair is primarily dipped in chocolate hues, while banana yellow shades appear on the TPU overlays.
