Andrew Rizzo While most sneaker news surrounding the NBA Playoffs pertains to pairs worn on-court, courtside guests have been known to make headlines all the same. The Dallas Mavericks hosted Bad Bunny during their game against the LA Clippers last week, and he brought out an all-new adidas shoe for the occasion.
The upper shares design language with adidas tech runners from the 90s and 2000s, most notably the adidas Ozweego, and the sole appears derived from models like the FYW Intimidation and KB8II. It’s yet to be confirmed whether the shoe is an off-shoot of an existing silhouette or new model entirely, but additional context should clear up all speculation in the near future.
What’s especially notable is the timing of this development; Bad Bunny and adidas are set to release “The Last Campus” on May 11th, concluding a run of colorways that was central to the duo’s partnership. Will this new model supplant the Bad Bunny x adidas Campus line? It certainly wouldn’t come as a surprise, especially given the aforementioned context clues and sneakerhead’s growing fondness towards tech runner aesthetics.
There will be lots more to unwrap in the coming months, but for now, enjoy a first look at Bad Bunny’s latest adidas shoe below. Pivoting to another influential adidas figure, check out Anthony Edwards’ adidas Rivalry Lo.
