2026 has been a big year for the adidas Adistar Control 5. The model debuted in 2008 as a performance running shoe and has now returned to adidas Originals’ lineup. Larry June has already been closely connected to the silhouette, appearing in the campaign for the model before getting his own collaboration.
The “Watermelon Smoothie” features a gradient that moves from Semi Solar Slime at the heel into Orange and Semi Lucid Red toward the toe. Open White mesh covers the base, while Beige leather overlays add contrast. Semi Solar Slime also appears on the Three Stripes and inside the shoe. The same colors return on the outsole, giving the pair a colorful finish.
Larry June branding is also added throughout the shoe. His name appears prominently on the tongue, while additional details connect the pair to his personal style. The combination of bright colors, mesh, and leather keeps the design close to the original Adistar Control 5 while giving it a different appearance.
