A mix of woven nylon, mesh and neoprene define the upper with speed-lacing and a velcro shroud. Rubber reinforcements also line the toe, running into a sole unit with a moderate amount of tread that should carry its wearer from a trail to a body of water. <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tSeveral colorways of the Virginia Watermoc began surfacing at Paris Fashion Week Men\u2019s just before <a href=\"https:\/\/wwd.com\/footwear-news\/sneaker-news\/pharrell-ice-cream-reebok-board-flip-release-date-1238916871\/\" id=\"related_article_link_pharrell\" data-tag=\"pharrell\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Pharrell<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/wwd.com\/sourcing-journal\/industry-news\/ai-loves-mentioning-nike-and-adidas-than-any-fashion-brand-1239037021\/\" id=\"related_article_link_adidas\" data-tag=\"adidas\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Adidas<\/a> Originals brought the style to Marseille, France on Sunday with an all-day and night beach takeover at Boa Vista Beach Club. <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tGuests had an exclusive first look at the new Watermoc while spending the day competing in beachside activities including capture the flag, beach volleyball, and paddle relay races before gathering at sunset as Kaytranada took over the shoreline.<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"c-lazy-image__img lrv-u-background-color-grey-lightest lrv-u-width-100p lrv-u-display-block lrv-u-height-auto\" src=\"https:\/\/wwd.com\/wp-content\/themes\/vip\/pmc-wwd-2021\/assets\/public\/lazyload-fallback.gif\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/germany\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/DSC_2832.jpg\" alt=\"Adidas, Watermoc, Pharrell, Virginia \" data-lazy- data-lazy- height=\"1024\" width=\"683\" decoding=\"async\"\/><\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\tThe Virginia Watermoc seen in Marseille.<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tCourtesy of Adidas Originals<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tPharrell himself then posted the shoe to Instagram Monday afternoon in five: red, blue, green, yellow and black.
