adidas and Pharrell Williams are expanding their collaborative footwear lineage with the introduction of the adidas VIRGINIA Watermoc. The upcoming release shifts focus to amphibious utility, delivering a slip-on silhouette designed for seamless transitions between trail environments and active beachside activities.

Engineered to balance grip with efficient water drainage, the shoe’s upper is constructed from a combination of woven nylon, mesh, and neoprene. The functional design incorporates a speed lacing system shielded by a Velcro-fastened cover, while a reinforced rubber toe cap adds durability for mixed-terrain exploration.

Below, the silhouette borrows the sole unit from the archival 2005 Carnuba Adventure Moc, providing a moderate tread pattern suited for wear across diverse environments. Final collaborative details include specialized “Virginia” branding located on the insole and the interior of the strap.

The Pharrell x adidas VIRGINIA Water Moc drops in September via adidas and select global retailers for $220 USD.
