Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio — known as Bad Bunny — is a Puerto Rican recording artist, the most-streamed musician in the world in 2020, 2021, and 2022 per Spotify. His sneaker collaborations — primarily with adidas but also with Crocs — have become some of the most commercially successful celebrity-sneaker partnerships of the 2020s.
adidas collaboration series
Bad Bunny launched his adidas partnership in 2021 and has produced multiple successful silhouette collaborations:
- Bad Bunny × adidas Forum Low "Blue Tint" (2021) — flagship launch
- Bad Bunny × adidas Forum Buckle Low "First Café" (2022)

Crocs collaboration
Bad Bunny's Crocs Classic Clog collaboration launched in 2021 and produced multiple glow-in-the-dark colorways. The first release sold out in minutes and became one of the most successful non-adidas Bad Bunny collaborations.
Cultural impact
Bad Bunny's sneaker releases consistently generate:
- Instant sellouts at retail
- 3-10x resale multipliers on drop day
- Record-breaking social media engagement

Design themes
Bad Bunny's sneaker collaborations emphasize:
- Pastel color palettes (blue tints, cream tones, chalky browns)
- Premium material callouts (suede, premium leather)
- Playful typography (often in Spanish)
- Sustainable material integration (vegan variants)
- Signature "un verano sin ti" and album-tied branding
