The athletic footwear industry constantly witnesses collaborations between brands and celebrities, but the enduring partnership of recording artist Bad Bunny and adidas Originals stands out. Their latest venture brings forth the Bad Bunny x adidas Originals Gazelle Indoor, a sneaker that uniquely reimagines the classic Gazelle silhouette. This iteration, available for purchase on September 21st, embodies an ethos of “The right thing in the wrong place,” encouraging unconventional styling.
The design philosophy behind this release centers on the notion that elements traditionally deemed unsuitable can become impactful when viewed through a creative lens. Each component of the Bad Bunny x adidas Originals Gazelle Indoor has been meticulously considered. This approach results in a fresh interpretation of a beloved adidas Originals model.
The Bad Bunny x Gazelle Indoor retains the signature double tongue of the original Gazelle. However, it introduces unexpected features like a flipped T-toe and an exterior size label positioned on the heel. These elements, though initially startling, harmonize with the overall aesthetic, challenging established norms of sneaker design.
This release pays homage to Benito Martinez Ocasio, the given name of Bad Bunny, seeking to encapsulate his audacious personality and artistic innovation. The shoe aims to capture the spirit of Bad Bunny, a globally recognized musician and trendsetter.
The Bad Bunny x Gazelle Indoor hits stores, adidas.com/badbunny, and the adidas flagship store on September 21st, priced at $140 USD for adults.
