Official images of the Bad Bunny x adidas Ballerina have dropped

Coming off the success of his brand new studio album ‘Debí Tirar Más Fotos’ (I Should Have Taken More Photos), Bad Bunny has returned to Adidas and is wasting no time with getting his year started hot. The Puerto Rican superstar has reached the top of the Billboard charts once again and has now begun to feed his fans by previewing the Bad Bunny x Adidas Ballerina model that is set to release in Q1 of this year. 

While photos of samples surfaced last year, we now have a look at what sneakerheads will have in hand upon release. Lucky for those who are fans of the look of this model, the ballerina is coming in two colorways, an Off White/Core Black and Core Black/Chalk White.  The sneaker reveals a sleek sole and bottom of the shoe, combining a suede and textile look, while the three stripes cover the entire side of the shoe, panning down to the bottom. Near the three stripes comes the signature wording logo branding of the model of the shoe, which is usually seen on the "Gazelle" sneaker, this time replaced with "Benito" on top of the first stripe. A heel tab is added, and a barcode sizing tag is uniquely placed on the heel of the sneaker in a move that I think adds some needed creativity to the model and reminds me personally of an "Off White" brand type addition to the shoe. 

Bad Bunny remains a musical superstar while taking over Adidas--

As for Benito's music, he is receiving yet another top album with raving reviews for the music and his artistry. DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS received an 8.8 from Pitchfork and is getting much-deserved praise as it is essentially a love letter for Puerto Rico. Bunny took a lane that was not expected for this recent record and applied himself in a new storytelling-like lane that is not often seen from him while blending it with his signature bounce and sound that has made people of all cultures fall in love with and appreciate his music. Bunny dedicates his craft in this record to making sure that everyone who is listening can understand and feel what he is putting into the microphone and sound, whether they can literally understand him or not. 

While there is no official set date, the sneaker is set to release in April according to Adidas scheduling, while they are confirmed for a 2025 release.
