You heard right. The Pharrell Williams x Virginia Adistar Jellyfish “Blue” arrived last weekend at ComplexCon, and only one location has it – the adidas Brand Center on South Las Vegas Boulevard.
Forget online raffles or global restocks. This release stays local, physical, and grounded. Walk in, try them on, and walk out with a pair if you’re quick enough. No bots, no lines outside digital doors. Just real feet meeting real concrete under the Nevada sun.
The design draws inspiration from an old running shoe, the 2005 adistar Cushion 3, but reimagines it to feel alive. Curves mimic sea creatures, not sneaker trends. Mesh layers sit beneath rigid TPU frames. The tongue tags whisper “Virginia,” reminding you that this isn’t just geography. It’s attitude.

Earlier versions – orange, green, and gray – sold out quickly. It’s not hype chasing scarcity. People wanted what those shoes represented without shouting it from the rooftops. Now, blue joins the lineup. A cooler tone with the same bold stance. The price tag reads $300. It’s worth every cent if your closet craves a statement over silence.
Last week, a delivery truck painted “Imported from Virginia” rolled through downtown Vegas. Clipse drove it. That detail matters. These two aren’t hired hands. They’re part of the vision. It’s proof that this project extends beyond product pages.
First glimpsed during Paris Fashion Week in January, anticipation quietly simmered. No leaks drowned out the buzz. No influencers spoiled the reveal. Patience paid off. The thick soles, exaggerated lines, and deliberate distortions are all crafted to stand apart, not blend in.
The Las Vegas location makes sense. It’s the city of spectacle. But it’s also a city of reinvention. It’s the perfect stage for a shoe built to challenge norms while honoring its roots. Arrive early. Bring cash. Leave with more than just footwear.
