Gunna Is Taking a Style Note From Japan for His New Adidas Originals Sneaker Collaboration
Following the release of his Adidas Gazelle “San Juan” sneaker in June, Bad Bunny is getting another iteration of the terrace style favorite.
The Bad Bunny x Adidas Gazelle Indoor “Benito” sneaker will release in August with Adidas’ classic white, black and gum colorway. As before, the sneaker features a warped suede T-bar, canvas trim around the cupsole, and a retooled collar and heel arrangement with mesh and suede. The heel’s size tag, however, now reads “Made in Vietnam” rather than “Samba ADV,” which should eliminate the confusion from its appearance on the previous colorway.
White leather and mesh form the shoe’s base, while a grey-ish cream color is used for the suede and canvas overlays. Black is then used for the leather Three Stripes motif, as well as the tongue and lining, and the shoe is rounded out with a translucent gum cupsole. Instead of “San Juan,” the text beneath the Adidas logo beside the striping now reads “Benito,” which is Bad Bunny’s first name.
The “San Juan” edition, Bad Bunny’s first Gazelle collaboration, paid homage to Adidas’ iconic city series on the beaches of the Puerto Rican capital city. Many have called it the artist’s best Adidas sneaker yet, and the more muted colorway arriving soon was first seen on the feet of Bad Bunny in an Interview magazine feature.
Bad Bunny also has a forthcoming collaboration on the Taekwondo, which has been reimagined in the style of a ballerina shoe and was seen on his feet in a paparazzi shot.
The Bad Bunny x Adidas Gazelle Indoor “Benito” sneaker will release August 17 through Adidas’ website and select third-party retailers. Pricing is set at $140.
