Long-time collaborators adidas Originals and musician Pharrell Williams joined forces to design a new colourway for the highly sought-after VIRGINIA Adistar Jellyfish silhouette. Coming in a crisp Triple White, the sport shoe draws inspiration from the fluid movement of the deep-sea creatures. The launch is accompanied by a promotional campaign starring adidas athlete football wide receiver Jeremiah Smith.
The new addition to the iconic adidas Adistar series of sports shoes
One of college football’s most promising talents embodies the next generation of athletes. Culture and sport intersect, playing an important role in how both brands revive the universe of VIRGINIA. The continuation of one of Adidas Originals’ most celebrated franchises, the Adistar, follows several very popular brand releases.
Pharell William’s VIRGINIA
VIRGINIA Adistar Jellyfish is one of the key expressions of Pharrell Williams’ creative vision. The musician-turned-designer selected VIRGINIA as its pseudonym and cultural platform. Named after his home state, the creative venture represents the direct connection between the celebrated musician and his audience, giving them a glimpse into his creative world. More than just a footwear brand, VIRGINIA is a platform for music, community, limited-edition merchandise, live events and, of course, mould-breaking design.
The partnership between VIRGINIA and adidas fuses expressive, show-stopping design with the innovative spirit of adidas to elevate footwear to new heights. Every new shoe reinterprets the legacy of the sports brand while challenging conventions and shaping the future through creativity and experimentation. The VIRGINIA Adistar Jellyfish Triple White is no different.
VIRGINIA Adistar Jellyfish Triple White
The new colourway enhances the model’s recognisable exaggerated proportions and architecture. True to its name, VIRGINIA Adistar Jellyfish features a wave-like midsole that mimics a floating jellyfish. The layered mesh upper is paired with an exoskeleton cage, resulting in great depth and movement, while the glow-in-the-dark feature adds an unexpected, exciting element to the design. Designed to move with the wearer, it pushes the Adistar Jellyfish into its next evolutionary phase. In the dark of brought daylight, VIRGINIA Adistar Jellyfish Triple White stands out among the competition.
The company’s recognisable trifold is integrated in the front and the back of the model, while the shoe’s tongue also includes “usi-jelly” and “Virginia” written in white. The latest drop in the ever-growing VIRGINIA Universe continues to radically reshape the adidas heritage. Transforming the adidas Adistar into a sculptural silhouette, the design fuses technical innovation with boundless creativity and cultural influence, resulting in one of the brand’s most distinctive sneaker collaborations.
Retailing for $300 USD, the VIRGINIA Adistar Jellyfish in Triple White is available globally since August 1, 2026, on the CONFIRMED app and at selected global stores.
