The adidas Jellyfish by Pharrell is one of the most enticing sneakers of the last year. The model was teased throughout all of 2025 before finally releasing to the public at the end of the year, with a handful of additional colors arriving early in 2026. This week, James Harden debuted a new bold red colorway of the runner, possibly launching later this year.
Pharrell’s latest signature sneaker from adidas is one of the most elusive popular models of the past year. The chunky runner first released in the debut orange colorway back in August, and only four more styles have been made widely available in the months since. The simple grey & white pair first worn by The Clipse landed in October, alongside the “Real Green” style. The rest of 2025 was quiet, until the Jellyfish returned in February 2026 with two more releases paired together, the triple black look and a Royal Blue edition. Several new styles have surfaced since then; Pharrell wore a smooth tan color to receive his Footwear New Achievement Award, and a hot pink look was given away by adidas at an activation for the Miami Grand Prix at the beginning of the month. Chief Keef even leaked a pair, a dark brown & electric green look assumed to be a F&F style. Now, James Harden has given us a first look at another new style, for which any release details have remained under wraps this week. Harden’s look was debuted during his entrance to the Cavs/Knicks game this week, where he donned the striking red colorway for his tunnel fit. Balancing shades of red across the upper, this look adds black striped and a baby blue accent to complete the look.
The release status of the latest new style from Pharrell and his adidas Jellyfish is currently unknown. The striking red colorway with light blue accents has only be seen in these two photos of James Harden arriving to a game on Monday, and no leaks about a potential release are available. Given Pharrell and adidas’ penchant for exclusive friends & family editions over the years, it is very possible this pair will not be available to the public, but we will update this post as more information arises.
