Between his record-breaking album and highly anticipated tour, Bad Bunny has had a year for the books. Now, to further cement his status on the global stage, the Puerto-Rican artist is joining forces with Adidas for a new collection that pays homage to the land he loves. Fresh off their previous release, Adidas and Bad Bunny’s latest collection contains a series of colorful new Gazelle shoes inspired by San Juan, Puerto Rico. Each new color contains a sentimental story and a sense of pride, making for a sneaker collection that everyone can enjoy. Coinciding with his residency taking place from July 11 to September 14 in Puerto Rico for a span of 30 shows, Bad Bunny continues to highlight the beauty and pride of his heritage.

Bad Bunny brings color and heat to the Adidas Gazelle

Through this new “Gazelle City Series” collection, Adidas and Bad Bunny showcase some of the colors and beauty of the island. Arriving in three rich colorways, the new Gazelle series is far from just another piece of merch for Benito’s fans. “El Yunque”, the collection’s green hue, takes inspiration from the lush greenery of Puerto Rico’s tropical rainforest, the only of its kind in the United States. The bold orange of “Sancturce” captures the vibrant artistic energy of the Puerto Rican community, from music to art. Rounding out the collection is “Cabo Rojo,” the collection’s vivid pink standout, which pays homage to the island’s salt flats and rare pink waters. Each hue carries a sentimental meaning that directly traces back to Puerto Rico, making it the ideal place for the shoe’s launch. Both “El Yunque” and “Sancturce” are only available exclusively in Puerto Rico, while “Cabo Rojo” is expected to land globally in late July for $140.

adidas’ Samba is getting two new shiny metallic colorways

adidas releases new Samba colorway

silver and red adidas samba

There’s zero doubt that the adidas Samba has been the ultimate sneaker for the last couple of seasons, and there’s no doubt it will continue to reign for more. Part of this shoe’s charm comes from the numerous collaborations and remixes the sneaker has undergone, allowing it to maintain its popularity. While there will surely be more Samba collaborations, the latest release comes from adidas and packs a metallic punch. Using two shinier colorways, the adidas Samba gets a fun and disco-inspired new look for the season. Ideal for the boldest dressers, the metallic colorways add a fascinating pop of color and the depth of a unique texture. While it might not be the simplest go-to sneaker, it’s certainly an interesting option for those unafraid of some shine.
adidas Samba LT “Metallic Pack”

Although the release of a new “Metallic Pack” brings about new colors, the overall design of your favorite sneaker remains the same. With the traditional soccer-inspired details of a fold-over tongue and slim silhouette, the adidas Samba’s upgrades are purely superficial. Adidas has reimagined the sneaker with premium synthetic leather uppers with a metallic finish in the two colorways. Users will have the option to choose from a silver or gold metallic finish. The traditional gum rubber sole remains on the sneaker for extra traction and protection. On the silver iteration of the shoe, “Pre-Rub” accents add a dose of red to the sneaker. The gold version of the shoe will come with adidas’ signature “Core Black” accents to highlight the metallic finish. Both colorways will retail for $120 each and will be available on March 1 via adidas’ webstore. Although the sneaker isn’t a versatile neutral, the fun metallic finish adds a shiny edge to a traditional shoe.
