Bad Bunny’s Latest Adidas Collaboration Fuses Old and New Sneakers Together
The Bad Bunny and Adidas partnership marches on with the pending launch of a new sneaker model which is actually two designs spliced into one.
The upcoming Bad Bunny x Adidas Adizero SL 72 collaboration includes three colorways of the old-meets-new model, which makes its debut in this collection. The shoe blends two distinct eras of Adidas running shoes by combining the bottom half of the Adizero 2000s-era performance runner with the top of the more retro SL 72.

The mesh of the Adizero model has been left with a raw edge as it switches to the nylon construction of the SL 72. The hybrid shoe almost looks as if the two individual models have been stitched together, resulting in a juxtaposed look that is both classic and modern at the same time.
To further emphasize the conjoined aesthetic, two of the collaboration’s colorways feature heavily contrasting colors: one shifts from maroon nylon on the SL 72 components to a bright orange mesh, while another combines a royal blue nylon top with the tennis ball-like neon yellow Adizero Neftenga shade reminiscent of what was seen on Wales Bonner’s recent collaboration. The project’s third colorway takes a much more conservative direction, combining white and off-white shades with blue branding for a (mostly) matching look.
The public’s first glimpse at the Bad Bunny x Adidas Adizero SL 72 came in November, when Olympic sprinter Noah Lyles wore the white colorway at the Formula 1 Las Vegas Grand Prix.
Colorways of the Bad Bunny x Adidas Adizero SL 72 include “Off White/Chalk White/Wonder White” (SKU JP8816), “Maroon/Chalk White/Semi Solar Red” (SKU JP8815) and “Blue/Core White/Shock Yellow” (JQ8757). Retail pricing is set at $160 and all three pairs will be released on Dec. 14.
