Pharrell Williams and adidas are stripping their sculptural Jellyfish silhouette back to white. The adidas Jellyfish — the TPU-encased design built on adidas' Adistar platform that debuted last year — releases in a "Triple White" colorway on July 15, 2026 for $300, carried by adidas and Pharrell's Virginia website along with select retailers.
A Shoe of the Year Goes Tonal
The Jellyfish is not just another Pharrell drop. It took home Footwear News' Shoe of the Year for 2025, an award that turned a polarizing, gill-like sculpture into the centerpiece of Pharrell's adidas work. The brand has spent the year rolling it out in vivid, limited hits — Green, Blue, Royal Blue, Triple Black — and an earth-toned "Crystal Sand" colorway is set for September. "Triple White" is the clean-slate version, the one built to move past the collector and into a wider rotation.
The Details
The KH6730 keeps the Jellyfish's defining exoskeleton — 3D-molded TPU panels protruding across a breathable mesh base — and renders it in a crisp white, with grey on the raised textured details and creamy off-white on the stacked TPU running along the side panel and heel. The laces add a two-tone, hiking-style contrast over an otherwise all-white tongue. adidas teased the pair with a surprise box-truck pre-release in Chicago ahead of the wider July 15 launch.
Reading the release: a tonal-white makeover is how a brand converts a viral object into a staple. The Jellyfish earned its award as a sculpture people argued about; "Triple White" is adidas betting the silhouette can outlast the discourse and become something you actually wear with everything. A general-release white pair is how a brand tests whether demand survives past the collector tier. adidas kept mining its archive, reviving Billie Jean King's 1974 signature shoe.
