Adidas Originals and Bad Bunny have unveiled their latest collaborative sneaker, the Gazelle San Juan, continuing their successful partnership. This new release reimagines the iconic Gazelle silhouette, paying homage to Bad Bunny’s native Puerto Rico and reflecting the island’s vibrant culture, roots, and street life.
SNEAKERS
The Gazelle San Juan is a celebration of Puerto Rican heritage and pride, deeply rooted in the essence of Benito, also known as Bad Bunny, and boricuas worldwide. The sneaker’s design is inspired by the colors of San Juan’s historic cobblestones, the sea, the beach, and the Noche de San Juan festivities, encapsulating the spirit of the island in every detail.
The same Puerto Rican pride that fuels the Gazelle San Juan also inspires figures like Mike Amadeo, the composer and producer who runs New York’s oldest music store. Since 1941, his store has been a cultural hub for artists, preserving and promoting boricua culture and connecting new generations with their heritage. From the exclusive suede toe cap to the distinctive size tag, the sneaker embodies both tradition and modern irreverence.
Available in a range of sizes to cater to all fans, this latest addition to the adidas x Bad Bunny collection will hit select retailers on June 23rd, coinciding with the Noche and Día de San Juan celebrations. Priced at $140 USD, the release continues to showcase Bad Bunny’s influence as a multi-platinum recording artist and cultural icon, who has consistently broken barriers and set records in the music industry.
