The Best adidas Pieces to Know in 2026, Ranked

The best adidas pieces to know in 2026 span apparel and footwear: the Chinese track top that built a following in Asia before its United States launch on 1 May 2026, Pharrell Williams' Adistar Jellyfish in Triple Black, James Harden's Vol. 10 Hell Cat and the Oasis tour apparel. Our number one pick is the adidas CTT Chinese Track Top 3.1 in Collegiate Burgundy.

The adidas CTT Chinese Track Top 3.1 'Collegiate Burgundy' leads our list, and it is live now in the adidas range at PUSHAS alongside every other pick here. Every pair and every piece is authenticated by hand.

What links this year's adidas picks

Each of this year's picks builds on an existing adidas design. The track jacket gained traditional Chinese knot closures. Pharrell reworked the Adistar runner as the Jellyfish. The Harden Vol. 10 revisits the Hellcat theme from the Vol. 9. And Oasis teamed up with adidas for the band's Oasis Live '25 reunion tour.

This is a list of pieces to know in 2026 rather than a strict release calendar. Where a release date is confirmed, we say so. For the apparel from the Oasis collaboration, we focus on the design rather than a date.

How we ranked them

These are our picks, judged on four things: design, materials, the story behind the piece and how it wears day to day. Apparel and footwear share one list, because our top pick is a jacket.

1. adidas CTT Chinese Track Top 3.1 'Collegiate Burgundy'

The CTT in Collegiate Burgundy takes the classic adidas track jacket and adds pankou, the knotted closures used on traditional Chinese garments. The jacket built its following in Asia first and drew strong social media attention overseas before adidas launched it in the United States on 1 May 2026, in four colourways.

Burgundy is the pick of the range for us: deep enough to wear as a statement colour, quiet enough to sit over grey marl or black. Note that the listing is cut to Asian sizing. For the full story behind the trend, read why the adidas Chinese track top is everywhere in 2026.

2. adidas Adistar Jellyfish Pharrell Williams 'Triple Black'

Pharrell's Jellyfish reworks the adidas Adistar running shoe with a design inspired by jellyfish. It releases under Pharrell's VIRGINIA label. The Triple Black made its debut in New York in December 2025, first at Billionaire Boys Club in SoHo on 4 December, then at the adidas Fifth Avenue flagship on 5 December, before a wider global release in 2026.

This colourway is black throughout, and with every layer in black the eye goes to the shape rather than the colour, which makes it the easiest Jellyfish to wear with a full outfit.

3. adidas Harden Vol. 10 'Hell Cat'

James Harden's Hell Cat colourway is inspired by Hellcat muscle cars, and the Harden Vol. 10 Hell Cat carries that theme over from the Vol. 9. It released on 17 January 2026 in a glossy black finish, with red underfoot and white stripes set low on the shoe.

It is built for the court, and the gloss black and red also work with casual outfits.

4. adidas x Oasis Tour Firebird Track Top 'Black'

adidas and Oasis built an apparel line around the band's Oasis Live '25 reunion tour, and the Oasis Tour Firebird Track Top in Black is the piece that sums it up: the adidas Firebird track top, co-branded for the tour. The collaboration went on to footwear, with Liam Gallagher's Achille SPZL and Noel Gallagher's Marathon SPZL, each carrying the brothers' faces on the tongue.

Zip it over a white tee with straight-leg denim and it works well beyond a gig.

5. adidas CTT Chinese Track Top 3.1 'Ash Grey'

The CTT in Ash Grey is the same jacket as our number one, with the same pankou closures, in a lighter tone that sits closer to a classic sweatshirt grey. It is the softer entry into the trend. Like the Burgundy, it is cut to Asian sizing.

6. adidas x Oasis Tour Jacquard Jersey 'Clear Sky'

The second Oasis piece on our list, the Oasis Tour Jacquard Jersey in Clear Sky, comes from the same tour collaboration. It is a jacquard jersey in the Clear Sky colourway, and it layers easily under the Firebird or over a long-sleeve tee.

How it fits

Both CTT jackets are labelled Asian sizing in their product names, so read the size chart on the listing carefully. The Jellyfish and the Harden Vol. 10 are listed in standard footwear sizes. The size chart on each listing is the best guide.
