Bad Bunny x adidas Response CL “Core White” GY0102

Bad Bunny has kept relatively quiet about his adidas Response CL collaboration. First seen on the Puerto Rican superstar’s feet back in January as part of a photoshoot for Vogue, the “dad shoe” most recently appeared in a mostly yellow colorway during the artist’s stop at Los Angeles’ The Forum venue on February 26th. The model, however, is set to debut via select shops on March 9th in a clean “Core White” style.

Unearthed from the archives towards the end of Summer 2020, the adidas Originals silhouette couples performance-oriented mesh bases with a slew of synthetic leather panels throughout the upper. El Conejo Malo’s touch on the retro Three Stripes sneaker gives the aforementioned overlays a “deformed” aesthetic, with both “Core White” and silver panels from forefoot to spine donning a much more jagged presentation than on standard pairs of the Response CL. Unlike his adidas Forum Low collaborations thus far, branding is kept to a minimum on Bad Bunny’s next release, as “El Ojo” (“The Eye”) maintains its position on the heel. The shoes, however, do come packaged with a bunny-donning carrying bag, which further differentiates the reggaetonero’s joint-projects from other offerings. Lastly, the Bad Bunny “dad shoes” don a slightly-yellowed midsole underfoot, which delivers a vintage aesthetic to the Response and adiPrene-cushioned pair.
