Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio—known across the globe as "Bad Bunny"—is currently in residency at Puerto Rico's José Miguel Agrelot Coliseum, treating local and foreign fans to a spectacle for DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS and music from his other five studio albums. Beyond the month-long concert series, the island native has teamed up with Adidas Originals to treat visitors and residents of his home country to a series of special product launches and activations. Amongst them, a 10-day exhibit at the Museo de Arte de Puerto Rico showcasing over 100 footwear and apparel projects between both parties.
The Adidas Para Bad Bunny: The Archive exhibit opens to the public on Wednesday, Aug. 6, and runs until Sunday, Aug. 17, offering diehard fans and casual spectators a glimpse behind Benito's five years in partnership with The Three Stripes. Past releases—including pairs of the Adidas Gazelle Indoor—and unreleased samples line the interior of the museum located in San Juan.
Additional city-inspired styles of the aforementioned Adidas Originals silhouette have been unveiled via the exhibit—including a "Vega Baja" style—as have prototype designs like the Caverunner and Superteam Cavehiker. Bad Bunny's sneaker collaborations thus far have skewed towards the traditional, but The Archive exhibit demonstrates how he and his team have explored different aesthetics over the last handful of years.
The impending BadBo silhouette, Benito's first original style, has been officially teased for the first time via the exhibit. Although the inaugural pair lives behind frosted glass, its presence at the Museo de Arte de Puerto Rico serves as living proof of Adidas' trust in the 31-year-old collaborator. The brand's three-way partnership with the the Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS F1 team—which includes the Adiracer Low and apparel—further demonstrates a commitment to Bad Bunny's cultural pride and consciousness, as it brought Formula 1® on Puerto Rican soil for the first time ever.
Enjoy a glimpse at much of the pieces on display at 299 Avenida José de Diego ahead—courtesy of Adidas Originals. Most of the footwear and apparel included in the exhibit will not release anytime soon, although public feedback may prompt the partnership to launch some items.
