John Kim We just showed you a first look at the Bad Bunny Stone Slide, the first-ever slide release to come out of the Puerto Rican superstar’s union with adidas Originals. However, the slip-on journey was intended to start many years ago with this reimagined take the adidas Reptossage, a familiar model that dates back to 1999.
Confirmed to be scrapped samples with no plans of hitting retail, the Bad Bunny adidas Reptossage was created in five distinct colorways featuring the signature eye logo on the jelly logo on the mid-foot strap, and the addition of oblong shapes on the medial and lateral slide. Both of those features replaced the Performance logo that once sat in those areas. The jellied cushion pods on the footbed remain consistent with the actual version, as do the grooves that line the sidewalls of the sole.
Below is the adidas Reptossage re-issue that last dropped in 2022; given these Bad Bunny Reptossage’s place in The Archive exhibit in Puerto Rico, these may have been intended to release in late 2022 or early 2023. Slides are obviously a major component of daily life in Puerto Rico and nearly all the islands of the Caribbean; however, as Bad Bunny’s tastes shift, adidas Originals has chosen to launch the Stone Slide as the first-ever Bad Bunny slide drop.
