Why the Adidas Adistar XLG2 Squid is better than the Jellyfish (for most people)

▶ BUY this Adidas Adistar XLG 2.0 NOW: https://howl.link/qi98n5cqtlrax BUY it in Grey here: https://howl.link/h59hsf0h28xdk The Pharrell x Adidas Adistar Jellyfish dropped as the hyped chunky dad shoe of 2025—$300 retail, instant sellouts, resale over $1K sometimes... but is it worth it? Enter the Adidas Adistar XLG 2.0 "Squid" — the $150 "takedown" that's stealing the spotlight as the smarter, more practical pick for everyday sneakerheads. In this breakdown, I compare them head-to-head: looks (Squid's subtler TPU overlays & cleaner vibe vs Jellyfish's bold wavy drama), comfort (both Adiprene-cushioned, but Squid feels more refined & wearable daily), fit/weight, build quality, availability (Squid easy to cop, no bots needed), and value. Spoiler: For 90% of people who just want the chunky retro runner aesthetic without the headache or premium tax... Check my in-depth review and see how I styled them three distinct ways!
