In the immortal words of Pat Riley, the NBA postseason births one winner and 29 losers. All things considered, the Cleveland Cavaliers making their first Conference Finals post-LeBron is a win, but falling victim to the sudden juggernaut that is the New York Knicks feels like a bitter pill. Where The Beard will lace ’em up next season now becomes a major question, but even outside of his on-court efforts, he’s always been able to stay in the headlines.

Before Game 4 tipped off, James Harden’s “tunnel fit” did exactly that. Paired with a casual fit otherwise, Harden debuted a new colorway of the adidas Jellyfish, further stamping the creative possibilities as it enters year two. Vibrant red uppers set the stage before light blue interplay takes over the “3D” extensions on the sidewalls and toe. Black Three Stripes and 3M laces close it out.

For Harden, his interest in fashion is well-documented, but this continues a recent streak in which adidas and adi partners have leveraged that interest. The Beard walked the runway for Willy Chavarria in 2025 before launching a full-blown collaboration earlier this year. For Pharrell, this adds to the (potential) future plans for his red-hot “exploded” silhouette, yet comes as he plots further extensions to the VIRGINIA universe like the Water Moc or Flat Earther.

Beyond these pre-game first looks, information on the adidas Jellyfish “Red/Blue” is highly limited. Rest assured that we’ll keep this page updated with any new details as they come to light.
