Pharrell Williams' latest adidas Jellyfish looks like it swam into some squid ink (for the better). Now, it's gone gloriously stealth mode.

(And we're not talking about the adidas XLG 2.0, which has been dubbed the "Squid" due to its similar chunky dad shoe design structure.)

The adidas Jellyfish, officially named the Virginia Adistar Jellyfish, continues its debut with the release of an all-new all-black colorway.

The blacked-out color scheme covers everything from the tentacle-like piping and "gills" on the upper to the extra-chunked-up soles infused with adidas' cushioning technology.

Pharrell's black Jellyfish shoe technically dropped back in December. However, it was a super-exclusive launch at select adidas and Billionaire Boys Club stores in New York. But the release naturally brought a massive crowd and the classic "limited-edition sneaker launch" chaos.

But if you took the L that day, a second chance now awaits. The all-black adidas Jellyfish sneaker is expected to drop on the brand's website in 2026 for $300.

A "Royal Blue" iteration is also anticipated to wash ashore, with sneaker leakers saying the blue pairs could arrive as early as February.

Pharrell and adidas have already released a few nice colorways of their award-winning sneaker. And apparently, there's more Jellyfishes in the sea.
