The Bad Bunny x adidas Adizero SL72 “Active” blends two pivotal moments in adidas’ history, combining elements from the 1970s and 2000s to create a design that honours its roots while embracing innovation. This collaboration unites the SL72’s classic upper with the performance-focused Adizero sole, delivering a shoe that connects the past and present.
The upper takes inspiration from the SL72, a lightweight silhouette that defined the 1970s. Its stitched details and iconic 3-Stripes branding remain, preserving the timeless appeal of the original design. Paired with the Adizero sole, known for its lightweight and responsive construction, this hybrid design delivers comfort and functionality without losing its retro essence.
The colour palette combines Blue, Core White, and Shock Yellow, a nod to the bold tones of the SL72’s era. The materials remain true to their respective influences, with stitching and textures that reference the originals. Branding on the shoe includes the dual Trefoil and badge of sport logos, while the “para Bad Bunny” sign-off adds a distinctive and personal touch to the collaboration.
The Bad Bunny x adidas Adizero SL72 “Active” serves as a thoughtful union of adidas’ heritage and forward-thinking design. By bringing together two defining eras, this release demonstrates the brand’s ability to honour its legacy while continuing to innovate.
