adidas Originals and Bay Area artist Larry June continue their collaborative partnership with the release of the Adistar Control 5 “Watermelon Smoothie.” Serving as the second colorway following an exclusive Friends & Family drop, this iteration reimagines the early-2000s runner through a fresh lifestyle lens.

Inspired by June’s personal health and wellness routines – specifically his ritual of making a watermelon smoothie – the design translates his West Coast intentionality into aesthetic cues. The “Watermelon Smoothie” colorway features an open white mesh base paired with layered tonal overlays, establishing a clean, breathable foundation. Its standout design element is a vibrant gradient finish that transitions fluidly through “Semi Lucid Red,” “Semi Solar Slime” and Clay hues, directly mimicking the refreshing tones of its namesake beverage. Custom Larry June signature branding completes the upper, adding a personalized touch to the vintage-inspired silhouette.
