How does it fit into the Bad Bunny x adidas story?
The partnership has used the Gazelle as a canvas for stories about Puerto Rico: place, identity, memory and home.
| Year | Release | Story |
|---|---|---|
| 2024 | “San Juan” Gazelle (blue) | A tribute to Bad Bunny’s Puerto Rico, inspired by Casa Amadeo, the first Puerto Rican music shop and the oldest continuously operating Latin music store in New York City |
| 2025 | Gazelle City Series, released alongside his Puerto Rican residency | Colourways inspired by parts of the island, including El Yunque (deep green, for the rainforest), Santurce (vivid orange, for the music and arts neighbourhood) and Cabo Rojo (pink, for its salt flats) |
| 2026 | Gazelle Indoor “Solar Gold” | A sunset-inspired colourway on a theme of growth, change and evolution |
The 2025 campaign featured Puerto Rican elders as keepers of the island’s stories, echoing the sentiment of the album Debí Tirar Más Fotos track “No Me Quiero Ir De Aquí”. Footwear News notes it arrives more than a year after his last Gazelle release. wwd
Is it worth buying?
Editorial view, based on announced details; we haven’t worn the sneaker.
It suits you if: you collect the Bad Bunny Gazelle line, want a bright suede low-top that works with neutrals, or like the low-profile Gazelle Indoor shape.
Think twice if: you prefer subtle colours, because “Solar Gold” is deliberately bold. Also compare resale prices against retail before buying from third-party sellers.
How to style it
- Let the shoes lead: pair with black, denim or grey so the yellow stands out.
- Match with earthy tones: olive and brown echo the gum sole and olive-toned details.
- Keep the trousers slightly cropped so the low profile and gum sole show.
