adidas Adistar XLG 2.0 Solar Orange HQ7468

Pharrell’s adidas Jellyfish is a certified hit, but due to limited supply and high resale prices, many would-be buyers have gone home disappointed after the model’s first few drops. If you’re among them, there’s good news ahead: adidas is dropping a budget-friendly, non-collaborative version of the sneaker called the Adistar XLG 2.0, unveiled on-foot at ComplexCon this past weekend.

Pictured on the feet of @upscale_vandal, the sneaker slightly downplays some of the exaggerated proportions of the Jellyfish with a few key changes. First and foremost, the stripes and TPU side detailing are far slimmer, finding a middle ground between the standard Adistar Cushion 3 and Pharrell’s Balenciaga-like reimagination. The tongue is also longer, and oval laces are included in place of rope laces. The sneaker retains its chunky silhouette, though the midsole is tweaked to protrude more prominently around the heel.

The adidas Adistar XLG 2.0 releases Holiday 2025/Spring 2026 in several colorways, including the “Solar Orange” pair spotted at ComplexCon. See detailed images below and stay tuned for further updates.
