The Jellyfish returns in Crystal Sand

Three weeks after the Triple White, Pharrell Williams brought the adidas Adistar Jellyfish back in Crystal Sand, Trace Brown, and Core Black: tan and beige layers over the sculpted upper, light blue hits in the midsole and outsole, and jet black Three Stripes. It ran as a SuperSwipe Pay After draw, with bots filtered before selection.
