JENNIE of BLACKPINK releases her first adidas Originals collaboration on September 1, 2026: the Superstar Square Ballet, a two-pair set that rebuilds adidas' most recognizable shell-toe sneaker as a ballet flat. The pairs retail for $150 in women's sizing, though House of Heat lists the price at $130.
The shell toe is widened and squared off. The lacing system is gone, replaced by an elastic strap across the midfoot, with decorative leather laces at the vamp that serve no functional purpose and a small bow at the forefoot. The Three Stripes sit at the midfoot in a contrasting color, and "Superstar" is rendered tonally behind the last stripe. The insole carries a woven co-branded Trefoil and JENNIE tag.
Two colorways launch. LB3786 is Off White with Core Black Three Stripes and Core White detailing; LB3787 reverses it, a Core Black upper with Off White accents. Sole Retriever lists both as women's exclusives at adidas and select retailers.
The shoe anchors a wider women's capsule of apparel and accessories that adidas is framing around the theme "Functional Grace," extending the black-and-white footwear palette into light blue and navy. House of Heat traces the silhouette's lineage to the Samba Jane, adidas' earlier Mary Jane treatment of a terrace classic — the same move Uristocrat covered when the Samba Jane "Jessie" dropped in May for $110.
JENNIE has worked with adidas since 2018 and appeared in the brand's Superstar campaign earlier in 2026 alongside other artists, but this is the first product that carries her name. Design Scene reports the September 1 date as a South Korea launch with a wider release still to come, and Sneaker Files lists it as Korea-only. House of Heat lists it as adidas.com and select retailers.
adidas has run several Superstar collaborations this year, from CLOT and Anthony Edwards' "Unity Orange" at $200 to Hellstar's four-colorway run.
