adidas Originals and Hellstar are bringing the heat.
After multiple partnerships that have collided with big cultural moments, adidas Originals and Hellstar are now gearing up for their first global release with the MEGARIDE S2. It is a reinterpretation of the iconic adidas running-inspired franchise, all the while transforming it into a bold expression through Hellstar’s disruptive creative vision.
The sneaker’s reimagined design is an amalgamation of Hellstar’s ethos of “shining bright in a dark world.” This is what happens when the Hellstar universe collides with the Three Stripes: a shoe enveloped in flames, finished in chrome, and built for those still moving forward – the MEGARIDE S2.
Drawing from Hellstar’s signature flame motif, a white-to-black graphic flame gradient wraps the silhouette, with a custom RPU upper mold with exposed mesh, debossed detailing, chrome-finished tooling, and a translucent outsole.
The white-to-black gradient colorway evokes the journey of light fading into darkness, or darkness giving way to light – depending on where one stands. Hellstar’s signature sharp flame motifs also embody the belief that heat does not simply destroy; it is transformative.
The MEGARIDE S2 marks Hellstar’s first global release with adidas Originals, building on the momentum of a series of limited-edition launches across Las Vegas, Los Angeles, and Miami. The MEGARIDE S2 signals the next chapter in the collaboration, as Hellstar and the Three Stripes continue to push the intersection of sport-inspired design and contemporary streetwear culture for those who live it and feel it.
Off the heels of one of the biggest summers ever, adidas is carrying the flame throughout the month of August. This connection with Hellstar is an important one for an already beloved partnership. The MEGARIDE S2 is the perfect canvas for this partnership- with a creative aesthetic and silhouette that perfectly houses Hellstar’s iconic fire design.
Now, a wider audience will be blessed with the opportunity to experience one of the best partnerships in sneakers. The adidas Originals Hellstar MEGARIDE S2 will be available globally on August 8, 2026, at 10 AM EST, exclusively on the CONFIRMED App, select adidas stores, and select retailers.
