Bad Bunny and adidas have been heating up this year, releasing a ton of projects in tandem with the Puerto Rican star’s residency in his home nation. This week, a new “Flamboyan” colorway of his Ballerina shoe has surfaced, reportedly releasing in 2026.
Bad Bunny and adidas have built one of the strongest partnerships in sneakers, consistently delivering hype releases that fuse the artist’s bold style with the brand’s innovative edge. Since debuting the Forum Buckle Low in 2021, Benito has reimagined silhouettes like the Campus and Response CL with unique colors, layered designs, and storytelling rooted in his Puerto Rican identity. Each drop moves fast, cementing the line as both collectible and wearable. Together, Bad Bunny and adidas keep pushing lifestyle sneakers into new territory.
Releases from adidas and Bad Bunny for next year continue to lineup. During their The Archive event in PR last month, the two showcased some upcoming projects, including a GT Racer release in collaboration with Mercedes, and a tease of his first signature model, the BadBo 1. This week, Benito hit the stage in a fresh pair of his Ballerina model, in a new colorway inspired by the Flamboyan tree. Native to Puerto Rico, the tree sprouts striking red leaves throughout its bloom. The shoe mimics this through a Vivid Red upper, adding white stripes and a gum sole to complete the look.
