adidas Megaride S2 Launches in Two New Colorways
adidasjust relaunched a gem from its early-2000s archive with the reintroduction of theMegaride S2, a sneaker that blends performance-engineered cushioning with fashion-forward design. Reimagined with a modern twist, the silhouette revives the brand's original Adiprene cushion technology, once praised for its bounce-driven energy return, and repositions it for today's retro-sportwear revival and 'footballcore' wave.
The Megaride S2 makes a bold impression from the start. A breathable mesh base layer sits underneath a molded rubber cage, which wraps the entire upper for both structure and standout aesthetics. Adding a futuristic edge, the sneaker includes a zip-up shroud that conceals the traditional lacing system — nodding to early 2000s performance design while doubling down on lifestyle appeal. Below, the signature Megaride half-unit midsole in the heel delivers cushioning and responsiveness, with a rubber outsole built for all-day traction and streetwear endurance. Depending on the model, subtle patent leather accents on the tongue and heel tab offer a sleek, glossy finish.
Two initial colorways headline the re-release of the adidas Megaride S2. One standout pair arrives in a bold pink-to-purple gradient mesh encased in a glossy black net — a visual tribute to rave-era athletics and futuristic nostalgia. Meanwhile, the white pair takes a more understated approach, featuring an off white upper layered with subtle tonal variations. A metallic silver midsole anchors the design, adding a sleek finish that pulls the entire look together , allowing the sneaker's sculptural silhouette and material contrasts to take center stage.
Both pairs retain adidas's performance DNA, seen in the overlasting forefoot construction and high-traction sole pattern, while inviting fashion-driven audiences to embrace the technical archive through a modern lens.
The adidas Megaride S2 is available now for $160 USD, with a special-editionJAH JAHx adidas Megaride S2—first unveiled duringParis Fashion Week— also rumored for a Spring 2026 launch, hinting at a broader collaborative future for the silhouette.

Jennie Pays Homage to Another Superstar With Her Shoes
Jennie is, without a doubt, a star (judging by the throng of fans waiting for her after her dinner with Lisa in New York last night). But her off-duty outfit nodded to another person in her cohort of mega-celebrities: Bad Bunny. The singer headed back to her hotel dressed in a white graphic tee and low-slung black trousers, which she styled with a pair of sleek, futuristic silver sunglasses and a pair of black Adidas sneakers with white stripes. BeautifulSignatureIG / BACKGRIDUSA Jennie's ballerina sneakers hailed from Bad Bunny's recent collaboration with Adidas. While she opted for a more neutral colorway with her black and white pair, the Puerto Rican singer has repped his shoes loud and proud—and that includes the bright colorway. While supporting the Knicks during the 2025 NBA Playoffs, Bad Bunny opted for a pair of marigold Adidas Ballerinas with black stripes (very Kill Bill).
