Music icon, tastemaker, and now-head of men’s fashion at Louis Vuitton, Pharrell Williams, still finds time between his busy schedule to work with long-time partner adidas on footwear releases. While the output from the duo has most definitely slowed down, with 2024 playing host to only two different drops from Pharrell’s Human Race line, one being a Samba Collection and the other his take on the Adizero Adios Pro Evo 1, 2025 will see a brand-new model from Williams. Previewed at Paris Fashion Week is the all-new adidas Jellyfish silhouette.
The model takes inspiration from chunky dad shoes and mesh runners, more specifically the Adistar Cushion 3. Three-dimensional cut-outs and TPU panels are on the midfoot, extending from the lightweight mesh base to form koi fish-like black, cream, and orange patterns. The aquatic, fish-like inspiration is quite apparent from the back, as these organically shaped panels appear to have gill-like designs.
