Herzogenaurach, Germany, June 18, 2024 – adidas Originals and Bad Bunny unveil their latest collaborative sneaker: the Gazelle San Juan, a fresh take on the iconic Gazelle silhouette. This new release pays homage to Benito’s native Puerto Rico, reflecting the island’s rich culture, vibrant streets, and deep-rooted heritage.
The Gazelle San Juan is a celebration of Puerto Rican pride, echoing the spirit found in Benito and boricuas worldwide. The design draws inspiration from San Juan’s historic cobblestones, the azure sea, sun-kissed beaches, and the vibrant Noche de San Juan festival, bringing the island’s essence to a global audience.
This same Puerto Rican pride is the lifeblood of Mike Amadeo, a revered composer and producer who operates New York’s oldest music store. Since its inception in 1941, the store has been a cultural hub, nurturing boricua culture and connecting new generations to their roots.
Infused with the colors of the capital, the Gazelle San Juan draws on the traditions of Noche de San Juan and Benito’s signature irreverence, evident from the exclusive suede toe cap to the distinctive size tag.
Available in a variety of sizes to suit everyone, the adidas x Bad Bunny Gazelle San Juan will hit select retailers on June 23rd, perfectly timed with the Noche and Día de San Juan celebrations. Each pair is priced at $140 USD for adults, making it a must-have for sneaker enthusiasts and fans of Puerto Rican culture alike.
