Even if their relationship is about to enter its 5th year, Bad Bunny and adidas are just getting started. Though the release of their SL 72 reimagining is barely in the rearview, an insider look at a sample for the new year gives a window into what the duo may have planned as we stare down 2025.
This 2025 Bad Bunny Gazelle executes a complementary blend of tones, with tan hits anchoring the shoe on the lace-stays and sole enhancing the earthy atmosphere set up by the burnt sienna body and olive tongue. True to form, a few staples of the superstar’s designs continue on this shoe, from the twisted T-toe to the jagged contrast stitching on the tongue, its cerulean shading matching the “Bad Bunny” spell-out aglets.
Another colorway of this shoe further cements the Gazelle Indoor as the Bad Bunny adidas model de jour after the Campus was formally retired from his oeuvre. Additionally, this sees the return of the suede last delivered with the San Juan collab in June, departing from the elevated leather composition we saw with the three-headed link-up alongside Lionel Messi.
As of this writing, it’s unclear exactly what the “sample” tag portends; whether this indicates what Benito and the Three Stripes have cooking for 2025 or if this shoe was left on the cutting room floor. Regardless, it’s another signal that the partnership is as strong as ever and still makes for some appealing eye candy from afar. Catch on-foot imagery included ahead, provided by @yankeekicks.
