It’s been a while since we’ve heard Pharrell Williams or the Neptunes drop any form of music. And that’s because the record producer has been busy making a name for himself in the world of fashion. He’s been actively involved with some of the biggest brands in the world, including Louis Vuitton and adidas. We’ve already seen some of his work with the Jellyfish sneakers, which sold out almost instantly on release day. Now, in 2026, Skateboard P is back with a new colorway: the adidas Jellyfish “Crystal Sand”, a sneaker made for the warmer seasons or a beach runway.
Of course, it’s not the first time we’ve seen these sneakers. Pharrell himself wore them in December at the Footwear News Achievement Awards where he picked up “Shoe of the Year” for the Jellyfish. Photographers were quick to take snaps of his kicks, and they were blasted out on the internet for all to see. However, at the time, we didn’t have a name for them. Now we do.
In a closer look, we can see that the adidas Jellyfish “Crystal Sand” is a more neutral colorway in comparison to the 2025 release. Cream and brown tones cover the sneaker, with a dark black on the stripes logo on the side. But the feature that’s caught most people’s eyes is the streak of light blue sliding through the midsole. Perhaps that’s a touch meant to show the ocean inspiration. Either way, it completes the shoes’ sandy and beachy vibe.
Describing the shoe, Pharrell said, “‘Go bigger’ was a mindset… we let the sole become sculpture.” That was the idea behind the design of the Jellyfish. It’s not a running shoe anymore. It’s now streetwear.
Pharrell’s adidas Jellyfish “Crystal Sand” will sell for $300 later this year. Some are saying September 2026. Others are saying December. Tomorrow would probably be a better date.
