Pharrell x adidas Adistar Jellyfish “Core Black/Multicolor” Surfaces in New Colorway

Pharrell Williams and adidas are expanding the Adistar Jellyfish lineup with another bold colorway, this time arriving in a “Core Black/Multicolor” palette that combines dark neutrals with hits of pale blue and Volt.

The latest iteration is built around a predominantly grey and black upper, with black taking over the Three Stripes and several of the shoe’s structural elements. Pale blue is worked into the layered panels throughout the upper, while bright Volt accents add contrast around the heel and underneath the shoe.

As with previous Adistar Jellyfish releases, the design leans heavily into an exaggerated, layered construction. Mesh forms the foundation of the upper, while oversized overlays and molded components are stacked on top to create the model’s distinctive bulky appearance. The black Three Stripes cut across the midfoot, while blue detailing breaks up the surrounding grey panels. Volt remains more restrained, appearing primarily toward the rear of the shoe and along the lower portion of the construction.

The Adistar Jellyfish takes inspiration from an archival adidas running silhouette, but Pharrell has transformed the original design into something considerably more futuristic. The updated model features a dramatically enlarged sole unit, heavier overlays and a more substantial overall profile. Elements of the classic runner remain visible beneath the updated construction, but the Jellyfish has developed a distinct identity of its own.

The Pharrell x adidas Adistar Jellyfish “Core Black/Multicolor” is expected to release in November 2026 through adidas and select retailers. The sneaker will be available in men’s sizing and is expected to retail for $300.
