Adidas Originals and Bad Bunny team up once more
Adidas Originals and Bad Bunny are back again with their newest collaborative work: the Gazelle San Juan sneaker. This latest footwear design provides a fresh take on the celebrated Gazelle silhouette, paying homage to Benito’s homeland, Puerto Rico, and encapsulating the essence of the island, its culture, and its streets.
Embodying Puerto Rican Pride
The Gazelle San Juan encapsulates the Puerto Rican heritage and pride deeply ingrained in Benito and fellow boricuas worldwide. The design draws inspiration from the vibrant colors of the capital city’s historic cobblestones, the sea and the beach, as well as the Noche de San Juan, effectively capturing the island’s spirit.
Supporting Boricua Culture
Composer and producer Mike Amadeo, who operates the oldest music store in New York, is also moved by the same Puerto Rican pride that inspired the Gazelle San Juan. Since 1941, the store has been a hub for artists, keeping the boricua culture thriving and helping newer generations reconnect with their roots.
Design Highlights
Infused with the hues of the capital city, the latest drop takes cues from the rituals of the Noche de San Juan and Benito’s inherent irreverence. This influence is apparent from the exclusive suede toe cap to the size tag.
