Pharrell Williams and adidas continue to evolve their partnership with the release of two new colorways of the VIRGINIA Adistar Jellyfish. Following the sold-out debut in orange, the sneaker returns this October in Green and Grey, two bold executions that reaffirm its place as one of the most talked-about silhouettes of the season.

First introduced on Pharrell during Paris Fashion Week and later spotted on stage with Clipse’s Malice, the Adistar Jellyfish quickly became a statement piece within both fashion and music. Its striking design reimagines the adidas Adistar through Pharrell’s creative lens, combining performance roots with sculptural, futuristic style. The exaggerated midsole draws from the floating forms of a jellyfish, while layered mesh and exoskeletal details provide structure and movement. Custom touches, including “Jellyfish” and “VIRGINIA” branding, ground the sneaker within Pharrell’s creative universe.
At the core of this universe is VIRGINIA, Pharrell Williams’ creative pseudonym and cultural platform. Rooted in his home state yet reaching globally, VIRGINIA is a cultural destination that bridges music, design, community, and experimentation. From limited-edition merchandise and live events to collaborations that blur the boundaries between art and performance, VIRGINIA offers audiences a direct connection to Pharrell’s vision.
Through the adidas partnership, VIRGINIA elevates luxury footwear to new territory. Each design fuses expressive aesthetics with adidas’ legacy of innovation, reinterpreting heritage silhouettes while pushing against convention. The Adistar Jellyfish embodies this ethos, existing in a liminal space between land and sea, street and sculpture, utility and imagination.
The upcoming Green and Grey editions continue this narrative, positioning the Adistar Jellyfish as both an everyday sneaker and a futuristic object of design. With its sculptural profile and conceptual depth, the sneaker reflects Pharrell and adidas’ shared commitment to shaping the future through culture and creativity.
Retailing for $300, the new VIRGINIA Adistar Jellyfish colorways launch on Saturday, October 11, at select adidas stores and through the adidas Confirmed App.
