Adidas set to launch another successful sneaker collaboration with Bad Bunny
In the vibrant city of San Juan, Puerto Rico, Bad Bunny is currently headlining a month-long blockbuster residency that's receiving rave reviews. The residency, which marks a significant milestone in the artist's career, has also served as a platform for him to showcase his latest collaboration with Adidas.
During the San Juan residency, a sneak peek at what's to come from Adidas Para Bad Bunny was noticed. The new shoes, inspired by the dominant 2025 sneaker trend of torpedo shoes, draw inspiration from '70s runners like the Adidas SL 72 and Nike Air Tailwind. The upper features earthy tones of beige and clay with a quilted pattern, while vibrant orange stripes and a maroon tongue, with pink laces for added color, add a modern twist. The heel of the shoes bears the Adidas Para Bad Bunny logo.
Bad Bunny's fruitful partnership with Adidas continues with this latest collaboration, adding to his already impressive influence in sneaker culture. His previous collaborations have typically blended vibrant colors, unique materials, and sport-meets-street aesthetics, and it's expected that his future shoes may continue to integrate these elements with the season's emphasis on retro-chic style, comfort, and bold colors.
However, no release details or information about the potential exclusivity of the new shoes are available yet. What we do know is that Bad Bunny has dropped a hyper-limited pack of Adidas Gazelles to celebrate the residency, with each colorway drawing inspiration from a city on the island.
The Mercedes-Benz AMG Petronas Formula 1 team's latest car is also being assembled in Puerto Rico to commemorate Bad Bunny's appointment as an honorary reserve driver. Bad Bunny and Adidas brought the Formula 1 squad into the mix for the San Juan residency, further cementing the artist's influence in various spheres.
As for the "torpedo" shoe style, while it's not a widely covered trend in major 2025 sneaker reports, it seems to be an emerging style that could potentially gain traction. The current sneaker scene gravitates more toward retro, slim, colorful, and utilitarian designs, with key models including Adidas' Samba and Gazelle Suede, as well as Puma's Speedcat.
Meanwhile, Bad Bunny's latest album, DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS, is a smash hit, further solidifying his position as a global music sensation. With his successful residency, influential sneaker collaborations, and chart-topping albums, Bad Bunny continues to make waves in both the music and fashion industries.
