Clipse Rocks Adidas Jellyfish by Pharrell; First Drop Packaged Like Actual Jellyfish

If you were around during the heyday of Clipse, the duo's rollout for Let God Sort Em Out isn't anything new. And yet, it's been a breath of fresh air in the current music landscape. From extensive print interviews to street-approved apparel, the elements building up to the fourth studio album's release showcase an attention to detail, and commitment to quality. The unveiling of another Adidas Adistar Jellyfish by hometown friend, Pharrell Williams, is another example in the rollout masterclass.

Unveiled in Paris, the reworked, chunky retro trainer features a white, black, and grey color scheme. While tamer than the orange pair unveiled by Skateboard P in January, the sneaker's proportions naturally demand attention. Design elements from 2005's Adistar Cushion 3 are kept in tact across the sole unit, but components are reworked throughout the upper to create a sort of wearable sculpture.

Pusha T and Malice have largely kept to a yin and yang aesthetic, making the predominantly grey Adistar Jellyfish perfect for their wardrobes.

The Three Stripes has confirmed that the pair worn by Clipse over the last few days will be the first Adistar Jellyfish to release to the public. A first come, first served launch will take place in Paris on Thursday, June 26, at Jah Jah Studio (34 Rue des Petites Écuries). Doors open at 6 a.m. local time. An Adidas.com drop isn't scheduled at the moment. The Jellyfish is priced at $300.

A$AP Nast was amongst the Friends & Family that received a special package of the debut Adistar Jellyfish by Pharrell.

Delivered by white-and-red trucks marked with Imported from Virginia messaging, the collaboration arrived in a co-branded wooden crate. Inspired by the aquatic life caught off the coast of Virginia and sold to businesses across the country, the packaging included a number of accessories and trinkets done in eye-catching gradients. The package's star, however, is the plastic bag holding the sneakers à la goldfish at a local carnival. Pharrell and team create an illusion of the Adistar Jellyfish being in water, further bolstering the jellyfish concept.
