By Javier Saco
adidas x Bad Bunny Gazelle San Juan: A Celebration of Puerto Rican Pride is a heartfelt tribute to Puerto Rico, celebrating its vibrant culture and the indomitable pride of its people. This latest collaboration between adidas Originals and global superstar Bad Bunny honors his cherished homeland, encapsulating the essence of the island’s historic cobblestones, pristine beaches, and the enchanting Noche de San Juan.
Inspired by the rich colors that define Puerto Rico, the Gazelle San Juan boasts a unique palette reminiscent of the capital’s iconic streets. The carefully chosen hues evoke the sparkling sea, golden sand, and the warm glow of the setting sun over the horizon.
Bad Bunny, known for his unapologetic self-expression and deep connection to his Puerto Rican roots, infuses his signature style into every aspect of the Gazelle San Juan. From the exclusive suede toe cap to the custom size tag, every detail reflects his creative vision and the influence of his hometown. The design of the silhouette captures Benito’s inherent irreverence, making a bold statement that resonates with fans worldwide.
The release of the Gazelle San Juan not only celebrates Bad Bunny’s personal journey but also highlights the collective pride shared by Puerto Ricans globally. This pride has inspired countless artists, including renowned composer and producer Mike Amadeo, who has dedicated his life to preserving and promoting Boricua culture through his iconic New York music store. Since 1941, Amadeo’s store has served as a gathering place for creatives, connecting generations and keeping the island’s rich musical traditions alive.
The adidas x Bad Bunny Gazelle San Juan is available at select retailers in a wide range of sizes, priced at $140 USD for adults.
