Pharrell and adidas work in collaboration once again with the newest iteration of the Adilette 2.0 slide model, which take inspiration from the BOOST technology by the sportswear brand. The strap sandals transform into slides in the colorway options of bright orange, black, and the upcoming pink option as well.
The most notable element of the new update is the foundation, which borrows the BOOST foam in a full foot measure for bounce and comfort. The straps around the foot are double layered as well, with breathable elements at the mesh base due to the perforations and the hook and loop closure. There is also the Hu logo to represent the efforts of Pharrell to round out the shoe.
