Following a string of limited regional drops, Hellstar and adidas Originals are finally taking their partnership global with the release of the Megaride S2, a bold reinterpretation of one of adidas’ early-2000s running silhouettes.
The Megaride S2 fully embraces Hellstar’s signature aesthetic, built around the brand’s mantra of “shining bright in a dark world.” A white-to-black flame gradient wraps the upper, symbolizing the transition between light and darkness, while exposed mesh, debossed detailing, chrome-finished tooling, and a translucent outsole complete the futuristic design. The result is a sneaker that feels equally rooted in performance running heritage and contemporary streetwear.
The release marks the next chapter in a partnership that has steadily gained momentum over the past year. After debuting with a Superstar at ComplexCon in 2025, Hellstar followed up with exclusive launches in Los Angeles and Miami, each disappearing almost instantly. The Megaride S2 is the first collaboration from the duo to receive a full global release, giving a much wider audience its first opportunity to get in on the partnership.
The campaign stars Giovanna Ramos, better known as Gio, whose imagery matches the collection’s high-energy, flame-filled visual identity.
The Hellstar x adidas Megaride S2 first releases August 7th exclusively through Hellstar, followed by a global launch on August 8th via CONFIRMED, select adidas stores, and select retailers. Check out the campaign imagery below.
