Willy Chavarria x adidas Megaride AG Drops in Powder Red
Willy Chavarria is back with the adidas Megaride AG, the designer's second collaboration on the radical early-2000s-inspired silhouette. A fully monochromatic Powder Red makeup arrives this summer, anchored by the model's signature oversized TPU tunnel midsole.

The partnership between Willy Chavarria and adidas has proven fertile ground for archival reinterpretation, and the Megaride AG stands as proof that the collaborator isn't bound to the '70s and '80s canon that defined his early output with the Three Stripes. This second drop extends Chavarria's vision across a silhouette rooted in adidas' early-2000s technical heritage—specifically the Megaride platform with its unmistakable hollow TPU tunnel construction threading through the midsole.
The Powder Red iteration embraces monochromatic restraint, a departure from the visual density some might expect. Mesh, suede, and TPU layer across the upper in complementary tones, while bold co-branded text anchors the tongue. A matching hangtag seals the package.
Design & Technical Details
The Megaride AG's TPU tunnel system remains the visual anchor—a radical departure from contemporary sneaker language that borrows from adidas' more experimental era. This structural element doubles as design statement, elevating the silhouette beyond trend-driven aesthetics. Chavarria's application of his recurring rose motif through the monochromatic approach suggests restraint without sacrificing identity—a hallmark of his collaborative work across brands.
