Bad Bunny’s empire with adidas isn’t slowing down. Coming hot off the heels of his most personal album yet (one that sold incredibly well all the same), his next step in footwear is equally buzzy, issuing a new silhouette into his oeuvre for 2025. That shoe, the Bad Bunny adidas Ballerina, is now making a surprise appearance in its “Bold Gold” colorway, trending towards a release at the start of March.

First revealed towards the end of January, early looks gave us a clear view of the black and white colorways. Here, we get the best look at this colorful edition. Compositionally, the adidas Taekwondo is the starting point for this silhouette. Crucially, it’s a closer adaptation of the trendy Taekwondo Mei tooling, easiest seen with the split, translucent rubber sole.

The exposed size tag and twisted T-toe, slowly becoming signature touches in the Bad Bunny adidas catalog, mark the most considerable divergence from that parent model. Additional touches that set it apart are a plush collar, ghillie bungee laces extending into the toe, and a reflective pull tab.

Brand reps confirm that the official release date for this shoe is March 29th on adidas Confirmed and at boutiques. The white and black pairs will also drop via adidas and retail partners in April. Watch our Sneaker Release Dates page for more updates as this release plan becomes more explicit.
