Last week, Bad Bunny and adidas announced a new partnership with Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 team, bringing Formula 1 to Puerto Rico for the first time ever. Now, the three have unveiled a capsule collection, featuring a unique pair of the AdiRacer GT.
The last few weeks have been a whirlwind of exciting news about Bad Bunny. First, the Puerto Rican musician kicked off his residency concert series in PR, which will run 30 shows until mid-September. Then, last week, he announced a new partnership with Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1, helping to bring Formula 1 to PR for the first time in history. In the same announcement, Benito teased a new adidas sneaker, and announced a three-way collaboration between himself, adidas, and Mercedes.
Over the weekend, while the Mercedes AMG car was making history on a drive around PR, adidas hosted a special exhibition at the country’s art museum. Dubbed The Archive, the exhibit showed off over 150 prior and upcoming Bad Bunny x adidas releases, as well as dozens of sample pairs. Among them was our first look at the project including Mercedes, showing off a brand new style of the AdiRacer GT. This is the same sneaker BB was spotted wearing last week, but this pair has been heavily reworked to resemble actual F1 drivers’ shoes. The new look adds a plastic outer shell for support, a smooth suede commonly seen in drivers’ shoes, and special branding down the toes that boasts both AMG and Bad Bunny branding.
BAD BUNNY X MERCEDES X ADIDAS ADIRACER GT RELEASE INFORMATION
The new collaboration between Bad Bunny, Mercedes F1, and adidas has not been given a set release date yet. The collection could very likely arrive in 2025, but there is no information regarding this yet. Featuring a modified version of the new AdiRacer GT, pairs will likely be available through adidas and select retailers. Check back soon for any further updates.
