adidas and Bad Bunny Unveil Cabo Rojo Gazelle as Third City Series Sneaker in

Bad Bunny and adidas Originals celebrate Puerto Rican spirit worldwide as the Cabo Rojo Gazelle arrives as the latest and most vibrant colorway in the much-celebrated Gazelle City Series. Following the buzz of Puerto Rico-exclusive releases earlier this month, fans everywhere can now experience a piece of the island’s soul as the collection’s most striking design gets set for a global drop.

Celebrating Puerto Rican Heritage in Every Step

The Gazelle City Series is more than just a set of sneakers—it’s a tribute to the landscapes, stories, and culture of Puerto Rico, meticulously crafted through the creative lens of Bad Bunny (Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio). Each sneaker in the series honors a distinct aspect of the island that has shaped the artist’s identity and left an indelible mark on his global influence.

• El Yunque: Wrapped in deep green tones, this release pays homage to the lush biodiversity and storied culture of Puerto Rico’s only tropical rainforest and the nation’s sole representative in the U.S. National Forest System.

• Santurce: Bathed in vivid orange, this colorway reflects the electric art, dance, and musical energy of San Juan’s most creative neighborhood—an epicenter of contemporary Puerto Rican culture.

• Cabo Rojo: Standing out in vibrant pink, this sneaker draws direct inspiration from the natural wonders of Cabo Rojo’s salt flats, where rare microorganisms create glowing pink waters and a landscape found nowhere else.

Each colorway is more than a fashion accessory; it’s a story stitched into premium materials, chosen to reflect the unique beauty, resilience, and pride of Puerto Rico as experienced by Benito and shared with the world.

Cabo Rojo Goes Global

For the first time, the Gazelle “Cabo Rojo” will be available internationally starting July 26 at 10AM EST, with early access via CONFIRMED app signups beginning July 22. This launch marks a unique opportunity for sneakerheads and music fans alike to (literally) step into the narrative of Puerto Rican identity.

The global campaign beautifully features Puerto Rican elders, “the keepers of its stories and heart,” who warmly showcase the sneaker—linking heritage and modern style and echoing the “No me quiero ir de aquí” (I don’t want to leave) theme.

Meanwhile, the El Yunque and Santurce colorways will remain exclusively available in Puerto Rico, furthering the authenticity and special significance of these homages to the island’s most revered locations.

Deepening the Bad Bunny x adidas Originals Connection

This highly anticipated drop arrives as adidas Originals continues its sponsorship of Bad Bunny’s headline-making “No me quiero ir de aquí” residency at the Coliseo de Puerto Rico. The artist’s ongoing partnership with the brand continues to tell stories of cultural pride and creative expression, merging innovative design with the emotional resonance of home.
