Sneaker News Bad Bunny and adidas are continuing their relentless run of releases with the upcoming adidas Ballerina in its vibrant “Flamboyan” Red colorway. First spotted earlier this year back in January, the femme-leaning silhouette is now officially locked in for a release after months of anticipation surrounding the model.
2026 has been a mixed bag of sorts for Benito; his Badb0 1.0 was a strong departure from the slimmer design language associated with Bad Bunny footwear, bringing in a mid-cut skate-shoe-esque aesthetic to the growing catalog. On top of that, his next collab — the F50 Ghost Sprint — was teased at in the German brand’s lauded ad campaign that featured actor Timothée Chalamet and several football icons in Zidane, Del Piero, Beckham, and more.
The Ballerina, however, debuted over a year ago in three colorways, so this fourth “Flamboyan” comes as a bit of a surprise since it seems that the partnership has moved onto different silhouettes. However, the rich storytelling rooted in his hometown stays steady as the colorway is presumed to be inspired by a native tree known for its distinctive fiery red/orange flowers.
For now, we know that a wide release date is set for May 30th on adidas Confirmed and select retailers for $120.
