Update: Projects revealed at Paris Fashion Week last year for Spring/Summer 2025 are constantly hitting shelves now that we’ve made it to February. Pharrell and adidas are entering the mix with the introduction of their Virginia Superstar 92 today. Teased last June at PFW, it is dropping as a pre-launch exclusive via A Ma Maniére Atlanta. The oversized rendition of the beloved silhouette has been prepared in its classic color compositions of “Off White” and “Core Black.” Priced at $200 USD, it is expected to see a wider launch sometime in the weeks to come. Enjoy another preview of the shoe above and revisit our initial coverage from last year below for more info.


Original Story: At the Paris UNESCO headquarters on Tuesday, Louis Vuitton’s Spring 2025 menswear collection was not the only thing Pharrell unveiled; the fashion polymath also debuted his latest collaboration with adidas: a trio of Superstar sneakers.

Leading the pack is the Superstar 92 (also called the “Double Wide”), which pumps up the flagship model with a supersized agenda. With ample cushioning, the shoe takes after the exaggerated proportions of skate sneakers and ski boots from the ’90s, per the brand.

Notably, Pharrell first teased the statement silhouette in April, when he appeared alongside BLACKPINK’s Rosé at Tiffany’s Wonder exhibition in Tokyo in April; and he later dropped hints about the remainder of the collab via his @skateboard Instagram account.

The 92 model is joined by the 72 and 82 silhouettes—both of which were seen on P’s pals throughout Paris Fashion Week. The former model toys with the athletic style tropes of the ’70s, while the latter design boasts a more sophisticated facade from the ’80s.

“We created three Superstars for a reason,” Pharrell said in a statement. “We’ve moved beyond the impossible task of creating one thing for everyone. Instead, we pulled inspiration from the decades to offer three unique designs from the low-profile running look of the ’70s, the tailored elegance of the ’80s, to the bold design language of the ’90s. We wanted to give the world an option to find a Superstar that resonates with their unique self.”

It’s presently unknown when Pharrell’s next adidas Superstars will launch. Take a look at the designs in the gallery above, and stay tuned to Hypebeast for more information.
