Bad Bunny continues his journey through adidas’ iconic sneaker lineup. Having showcased his fashionable flair on the Forum Low, Response CL, and recently, The Last Campus, Benito has now turned his collaborative energies to the Gazelle model. While most of us are still eagerly anticipating the release of his “White/Gum” version, there’s already a significant buzz around his next project: the Bad Bunny x adidas Gazelle Indoor “San Juan”.
A Closer Look at the Sneaker
The “San Juan” colourway is inspired by the blue skies, cobblestone streets, and sun-kissed beaches of Bad Bunny’s hometown in Puerto Rico. Consequently, the design showcases a palette of varying shades of blue, with leather dominating the upper, while a light blue short-haired suede adds a luxurious touch to the toe and heel.
The cobblestone themes transition beautifully onto the grey suede eyestays, which break up the white hues of the three stripes logo, tongue, and laces. Finally, the sole unit is crafted from grippy gum rubber, mimicking the look of San Juan’s sands.
But it’s more than just colours and materials. Bad Bunny has added an intriguing asymmetric twist to the T-toe overlays, giving the shoe a truly distinctive look. And the innovations continue beyond there.
The sneaker showcases a doubled-up tongue construction, now a hallmark of Bad Bunny’s adidas collaborations. Additionally, the heel sports an exterior size tag, a detail usually reserved for the sneaker’s interior. The pièce de résistance is the San Juan branding on the lateral side, elegantly debossed in gold foil.
Without a doubt, this design could be our favourite collaboration between Bad Bunny and adidas yet. Now, the only challenge is snagging a pair in our size.
