Jovani Hernandez It’s no secret that sneaker brands often rely on a high-profile collaboration in order to introduce or energize a given silhouette. Yet, in the case of the newly-surfaced adidas Forum ’84 Low in pink a question arises: which came first – Bad Bunny or the Three Stripes.
Back on April 4th, 2021, the Puerto Rican megastar (who’s fresh off dropping the “Un Verano Sin Ti” album) launched an Easter-friendly take on the adidas Originals classic. For adidas‘ own offering, the low-top silhouette is covered in bolder shades of pink, with fuzzy suede at the profile 3-Stripes and lower heel complimenting high-quality leather panels throughout the majority of the upper. Lockdown straps at the top of the tongue boast their standard 1984 build, abandoning the trail-inspired buckles used by Bad Bunny. Underfoot, sole units opt for a solid rich rose makeover, delivering a non-experimental look that’s worthy of any comparison to the aforementioned collaboration from Spring 2021.
