Adidas Originals Adistar Jellyfish Shoes

Description

Upper: Constructed from a breathable textile mesh core encased in a semi-translucent, molded TPU cage that mimics the fluid movement and tentacles of marine life.
Midsole Cushioning: Engineered with a thick, sculpted EVA carrier housing full-length Adiprene+ cushioning for high-rebound energy dispersion and soft impact protection.
Cushioning & Stability Technologies: Features an integrated Formotion heel unit that adapts to landing surfaces alongside an internal midfoot shank for torsional rigidity.
Outsole: Multi-pod rubber outsole layout utilizing targeted flex grooves for smooth weight transfer and biological foot articulation.

Key Features & Benefits

Biomimetic Fluid Cage: Sculpted TPU overlay provides structured lateral containment while delivering a distinct avant-garde silhouette.
High-Rebound Adiprene+: Premium foam insert propels the foot forward and dings vertical shock during long wear.
Surface-Adapting Heel: Formotion technology smooths initial ground contact to reduce harsh impact forces.
Targeted Pod Traction: Strategic rubber pod placement reduces weight while maintaining high-wear durablity.

Sizing & Fit Advice

Fits True to Size (TTS) with a snug midfoot wrap due to the structured TPU cage. If you have a wide foot (2E) or high instep, going half a size up is recommended for ideal comfort.

How to Find Your Size (Step-by-Step Guide)

1. Setup: Place a plain sheet of paper on a hard floor, flushed against a flat wall. 2. Position: Stand on the paper with your heel resting gently against the wall (wearing your preferred socks). 3. Mark: Mark the furthest point of your longest toe on the paper with a pencil. 4. Measure: Measure the distance from the edge of the paper (wall) to your mark in Centimeters (CM).
Recommended Fitting Margin:
Casual / Lifestyle Sneakers: Add +0.5 cm to your measured foot length.
Performance & Running Shoes: Add +0.5 cm to +1.0 cm for comfortable movement and natural foot swelling.
