The Latest Chapter.
adidas Originals and Larry June are back with a new take on the Adistar Control 5, this time bringing the rapper’s signature “smoothie” energy to the Y2K-inspired runner. Dubbed “Watermelon Smoothie”, the latest colourway follows a Friends & Family edition released earlier this year, reworking the heritage silhouette in a bright mix of Semi Lucid Red, Semi Solar Slime and Clay. The campaign keeps things on theme, with June making his namesake watermelon smoothie as the sneaker’s colours and details come to life around him.
The shoe features an open white mesh base, tonal overlays and a vibrant gradient running across the upper, finished with Larry June branding and reflective detailing. It’s another example of the Adistar Control 5’s shift from early-2000s performance runner to lifestyle favourite, with June adding his own laid-back West Coast sensibility to the silhouette. The adidas Originals Adistar Control 5 “Watermelon Smoothie” releases on 12 September 2026 via adidas.com and select retailers.
