If you’ve ever been to Puerto Rico, you’ll have seen (and probably taken a photo of) the incredibly vivid red leaves of the Flamboyàn tree. This unmissable icon of Puerto Rico lies at the heart of Bad Bunny’s latest adidas collaboration.

For 2026, Benito returns to both his roots and one of his favorite adidas silhouettes: the adidas Ballerina. Set to drop in May.

Taking inspiration from the adidas Taekwondo Mei design, the Ballerina features a split sole unit for lightweight support at the forefoot and heel.

The result is a sculptural silhouette that feels futuristic and looks striking on foot while being supremely easy to style thanks to its minimal structure.

So far, this is the fourth colorway of the adidas Ballerina by way of Bad Bunny, whose white, yellow, and black iterations were met by the sneaker world with open arms.

It’s no surprise, really, considering the desire for barely-there sneakers. Low-profile and unassuming, the silhouette lends itself to current market trends.

But Benito’s penchant for a bold colorway shines through, highlighting the Ballerina as a standout among its competitors.
