In honor of Bad Bunny's 32nd birthday, Complex has ranked his best sneaker collaborations with Adidas, from the historic BadBo 1.0 signature shoe to standout Gazelle Indoor designs. The artist, signed to the brand since 2021, has released ten projects, including his first as a Latin artist with a signature model. The ranking highlights his influence in blending music, style, and footwear.
Bad Bunny, whose real name is Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, joined Adidas in 2021 and has since collaborated on ten sneaker silhouettes, marking a significant partnership in the streetwear world. This includes a soccer cleat with Leo Messi and culminates in the 2026 release of the BadBo 1.0, the first signature shoe for a Latin artist at Adidas. The BadBo 1.0, teased for nearly a year and worn during Bad Bunny's Puerto Rican residency, features a skate and basketball hybrid design with chunky construction, inner booty, premium suede overlays on leather, a brown colorway limited to 1,994 pairs, and a following all-white version.
Complex's ranking, published amid Bad Bunny's recent achievements—a Grammy win for Best Album of the Year for an entirely Spanish-language album and headlining Super Bowl 60—places the Bad Bunny x Adidas Gazelle Indoor at number one. Author Zac Dubasik notes its timeless style, proximity to Samba hype, ease of wear, and unique twisted T-toe design, with colorways nodding to Bad Bunny's San Juan roots and his “No Me Quiero Ir de Aquí” residency. It draws comparisons to Travis Scott’s Air Jordan 1 Low for balancing familiarity with distinct features.
At number two is the 2021 Bad Bunny x Adidas Forum Buckle, praised by Douglas Jase for aligning with Bad Bunny's global rise during the ‘Un Verano Sin Ti’ era, especially the blue colorway. The third spot goes to the BadBo 1.0, lauded by Ben Felderstein as rarified for non-athletes, following Travis Scott's Nike and Jordan signatures.
Lower rankings include the 2023 Bad Bunny x Adidas Campus Light, teased in the “El Apagón” video with neutral colorways like White Cloud; the undated Ballerina, highlighting Bad Bunny's broad appeal beyond sneakerheads; the 2022 Response CL with its “melted” upper and “Ojos” heel detail in six iterations; the 2022 Forum Powerphase mix; the 2024 Adizero SL 72; the 2025 AdiRacer GT tied to Formula 1; and the cleats at number ten.
