The $300 silhouette retains its sculptural, wave-like midsole and layered mesh upper with an exoskeletal cage, now finished with glow-in-the-dark detailing that highlights the shoe's exaggerated architecture. Since its debut and recognition as [Footwear News'](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/adidas-terrex-skychaser-ax5-goretex) 2025 Shoe of the Year, the Adistar Jellyfish has become a defining expression of Pharrell's design vision. The model transforms a heritage adidas silhouette into a recurring cultural statement through a combination of limited drops and broader global releases. The Triple White colorway launches globally on August 1 via the CONFIRMED app and select retailers, with signups opening on July 27.
