Willy Chavarria and Adidas are not done with the Megaride AG sneakers yet. The silhouette first appeared on Chavarria’s theatrically inspired FW26 runway show in January and launched commercially in Black and Cream colorways at the start of summer. Now a third colorway is incoming, and it is the boldest of the three.
The Bubblegum variant arrives in baby pink, a color that treats the shoe’s architectural outsole as a primary visual statement and lets everything above it work in service of that foundation. It drops August 7 through Adidas’ webstore and select retailers.
The Megaride AG’s construction is consistent across all three colorways: layered mesh upper with translucent TPU overlays, suede panels at the heel and toe, and a red Chavarria wordmark positioned vertically on the tongue. Matching logo tags on the lacing system repeat the branding with the same restraint that Chavarria applies across his Adidas work generally, visible enough to read as a considered design choice, not so prominent that the branding overtakes the shoe.
The Bubblegum colorway’s most distinctive quality is how the baby pink outsole recontextualizes that construction. On the Black variant, the red foam sole flashes feel like a sharp visual interruption. On the Cream, the sole tread is a faint red suggestion. On the Bubblegum, the entire outsole in baby pink turns the shoe’s most architecturally interesting element into its loudest color statement.
Willy Chavarria x Adidas Megaride AG: The Full Colorway Picture
The Black and Cream variants that launched earlier this summer established Megaride AG’s commercial identity before the Bubblegum arrives to expand it. The Black leans into futurism, with a metallic silver mesh base, translucent Putty Grey paneling, red foam sole with reflective detailing on the heel and tongue. It reads as a shoe designed for a runway as much as a street.
The Cream takes the opposite approach, combining an off-white mesh foundation with color-matched synthetic layers and only a faint red accent along the bottom tread. It is the quietest of the three, the version most likely to wear as a daily sneaker rather than a statement piece.
The Bubblegum sits between those poles in terms of wearability while exceeding both in visual impact. Baby pink is not a neutral, and the shoe does not pretend otherwise. But the construction vocabulary, TPU overlays, suede panels, the vertical wordmark, keeps the Bubblegum grounded in the same design language as the earlier releases rather than letting the color carry the entire weight of the look. The three colorways together form a coherent lineup rather than three separate identity statements, which reflects the kind of systematic thinking Chavarria has brought to his growing Adidas collaboration portfolio.

Chavarria’s Expanding Adidas Universe
The Megaride AG is one part of a broader creative relationship between Chavarria and Adidas that has covered more ground than most designer collaborations manage in a similar timeframe. Earlier this year, Chavarria brought his aesthetic to the Adidas Superstar, one of the brand’s most recognizable heritage silhouettes.
Before that, he co-designed James Harden’s Adidas Harden Vol. 10, a basketball performance shoe that debuted at Harden’s Cleveland Cavaliers introduction. That range, from runway debut to heritage silhouette to NBA performance product, demonstrates a collaboration with genuine creative flexibility rather than one narrowly defined by a single aesthetic or category.
The Megaride AG itself speaks to Chavarria’s interest in architectural form and dramatic silhouette, qualities that run through his runway work and translate naturally into footwear design that prioritizes shape alongside material. The Bubblegum colorway arriving in August is the third chapter of a shoe that began on a runway and has since found its commercial audience. It will not be the last.
