Larry June keeps things healthy, organic and unmistakably Bay Area with the adidas Adistar Control 5 “Watermelon Smoothie.”
Inspired by Larry’s signature fruit-and-wellness universe, the sneaker dresses the early-2000s runner in a watermelon-driven palette of reds and greens, backed by bright accents, grey and neutral paneling.
It’s another example of Larry taking the world surrounding his music — cars, health, business, Bay Area culture and everyday lifestyle — and translating it into something you can wear.

WATERMELON SMOOTHIE, IN MOTION
The rollout stayed completely on theme.
Larry brought the “Watermelon Smoothie” concept to life through campaign visuals centered around the fruit itself, connecting the sneaker to the lifestyle and language fans already associate with him.

ORGANIC MOMENTS ON MELROSE
Watermelon Smoothie day in Los Angeles. Fresh fruit, cold drinks, the Adistar Control 5, and a few organic moments in between. From the line outside to the smoothie bar inside, the rollout felt less like a traditional sneaker release and more like a community link-up.

LJ + Limo J. 415 + 510 = 925 — Bay Area math, organic by design.
Watermelon Smoothie in hand, Adistar Control 5 on display. Healthy & organic.
Behind the blend. Fresh fruit, cold drinks, and the details that built the day.
The ingredients matched the colorway. Watermelon, citrus, and Larry June energy.
Numbers 1991. Even the cup stayed on brand.
More than a sneaker drop, the whole space became part of the rollout.
Deep Water on ice. Hydration stayed part of the program.
Larry June in the mix, keeping the release personal from start to finish.
GOOD DROP, LARRY.
The release marks another chapter in Larry June’s relationship with adidas and gives fans a chance to own a sneaker carrying his unmistakable creative identity.
From the color palette to the campaign, nothing feels disconnected from Larry’s world.
The shoe doesn’t simply borrow the name “Watermelon Smoothie.”
It looks like one.
