Actress and global style figure Hoyeon was recently spotted wearing the Adidas Adistar XLG 2.0 “Squid” in an unreleased colorway, adding early visibility to one of adidas’ most progressive modern runners. The sighting showcases a fresh palette on the model, pairing soft neutrals with understated accents that complement the silhouette’s sculpted, retro-inspired form.
Drawing from the original Adistar Cushion 3, the Adistar XLG 2.0 “Squid” reframes a heritage design through a contemporary lens. Its AdiPRENE and AdiPRENE+ cushioning system has been tuned for modern comfort, while the signature exaggerated sole subtly lifts the hind-foot, creating a smooth transition and a distinct sense of forward motion. Layered uppers and dynamic lines further connect the design to early-2000s running DNA, now updated for lifestyle wear.
Hoyeon’s early look at this unreleased “Squid” colorway hints at what could become one of the standout palettes for the silhouette, continuing adidas’ push to blend archival performance design with current-day style.
No release details for this specific pair have surfaced yet, but expect more information soon.
