Pharrell Williams and adidas Launch a New "Tan" VIRGINIA Adistar Jellyfish

The latest glow-in-the-dark colorway from the creative duo.

adidas Originals and Pharrell Williams are back to update one of their most sought-after footwear franchises. Expanding on Williams’ creative platform, VIRGINIA, the ongoing partnership is officially dropping a brand-new “Tan” colorway for the iconic VIRGINIA Adistar Jellyfish.

The latest release balances an understated, monochromatic tan hue with the silhouette’s unmistakable, bold architecture. Placing a renewed emphasis on striking proportions, the futuristic sneaker pairs an engineered mesh upper and sculptural cage with a flowing midsole inspired by the fluid movement of a jellyfish. To further elevate its statement-making identity, the pair features signature glow-in-the-dark detailing that lights up after dark.

Designed as a bridge between fashion, design, music, and community, the VIRGINIA platform continues to push the boundaries of luxury footwear by reinterpreting adidas heritage through a lens of curiosity and bold innovation. Whether paired with neutral streetwear fits or styled as a futuristic focal point, this understated iteration brings a fresh, elevated look to the lineup.

The VIRGINIA Adistar Jellyfish in “Tan” officially launches globally on August 22 via the adidas CONFIRMED app and at select retailers worldwide. Signups officially open on August 17, 2026, so be sure to get your entries in early before they sell out.
