Adidas Originals and Pharrell Williams enter the next chapter of the virginia universe with the Virginia Miscellaneous Flat Earther. This release continues Pharrell’s approach to reworking adidas’ archive designs through his focus on shape, color and material.

The model draws from adidas Yoga Varioa silhouette first released in Fall Winter 2004. The original design drew influence from the practice of yoga and the principles associated with mindful movement. Pharrell revisits this idea and reshapes it into a lifestyle sneaker. He names the model to reflect attachment and balance, while encouraging a shift in perspective.
Pharrell describes the concept as a continuation of the Virginia line, tracing it from the Jellyfish model, which introduced a sense of flotation, to the Virginia Vario Flat Earther as the next step, defined by a low-profile, custom design that focuses on grounding, close contact with the earth and purposeful movement.
The design maintains its original introverted base, while leaning towards everyday use. The Virginia Vario Flat Earther comes in two versions. One features white full grain leather with green stripes, while the other uses white full grain leather with black stripes. Each version offers a minimalist construction that wraps the foot and supports flexibility and breathability.
The upper uses full grain leather for a soft and comfortable feel. Leather lining enhances comfort during use. The construction includes an EVA insole and a direct-injected outsole, which together support fit and function in a lifestyle context.
This model features a low-profile silhouette with a flat structure. The design expresses the individuality and self-expression that define the meaning of Virginia. It introduces a playful tone to sneaker design while staying grounded in its source material.
The Virginia Vario Flat Earther will be available in two colorways for a retail price of $140. The sneaker will be available from April 11, 2026, via adidas, the CONFIRMED app and select retailers.
