The Vibe :
⊹ Hellstar turns the running-inspired MEGARIDE S2 into a flame-covered streetwear sneaker.
⊹ A white-to-black gradient wraps the custom molded upper.
⊹ Exposed mesh, chrome tooling and a translucent outsole bring the hardware.
⊹ The release takes the adidas partnership worldwide for the first time.
adidas Originals and Hellstar are taking their sneaker partnership worldwide with the MEGARIDE S2, and subtlety was clearly never invited. Hellstar covers the running-inspired silhouette in its signature sharp flames, carrying a white-to-black gradient across the upper as an extension of the label’s “shining bright in a dark world” philosophy. It marks the streetwear brand’s first global release with adidas following a run of limited city drops.
The custom RPU upper mold exposes sections of mesh beneath the graphic shell, with debossed detailing adding another layer across the surface. Chrome-finished tooling flashes through the midsole, while a translucent outsole keeps the flame treatment visible underfoot. The Cloud White, Off White and Core Black palette may sound controlled on paper, but the molded graphics and silver finish push the adidas sneaker far outside standard neutral territory.
The MEGARIDE S2 follows the partners’ Superstar launch in Las Vegas in November 2025, the camouflage AE 2 and Hellstar Superstar released in Los Angeles in February 2026, and the Hazy Orange Superstar II that landed in Miami. The new pair releases globally on August 8 at 10 a.m. ET through the CONFIRMED app, select adidas stores and participating retailers. Retail is set at $200 USD.
