If you think sneakers are just shoes, get ready to rethink that. When global music icon Bad Bunny teams up with adidas Originals, it creates something more than just style — it’s a powerful cultural statement, filled with passion and a deep connection to his homeland, Puerto Rico.

On July 11, 2025, the exclusive “Gazelle City Series” collection drops — not just a line of footwear, but a trilogy dedicated to the island’s diverse faces, embodying its rich nature, culture, and spirit. This serves as the perfect backdrop for Bad Bunny’s unprecedented project: the “No Me Quiero Ir de Aquí” (“I Don’t Want to Leave Here”) residency in his hometown San Juan, running from July through September with thirty major shows.

The first color — a deep green inspired by El Yunque, the only tropical rainforest in the U.S. National Forest System. It’s more than just a shade — it’s a living legend. Here, incredible biodiversity thrives, and the island’s culture feels infused with the spirit of nature. Wearing these sneakers, you’ll feel the same strength as the ancient trees and cool mountain trails at its heart.

The orange “Santurce” color represents the pulse, rhythm, and energy of Puerto Rico’s musical and cultural hub. This neighborhood is a blazing center of creativity where music, dance, and art create a unique atmosphere that won’t leave any lover of vibrant life indifferent. Slip on these sneakers and the rhythm of Santurce’s streets will echo with every step you take.

The pink hue “Cabo Rojo” reflects the famous salt flats and the rare natural phenomenon of pink waters created by special microorganisms. Despite the devastating impact of Hurricane Maria, this corner of Puerto Rico has preserved its ecological value and charm. Sneakers in this color carry the spirit of resilience and rebirth — perfectly aligned with the theme “I Don’t Want to Leave Here.”
