Sooner or later, reggaeton superstar Bad Bunny is going to need a much bigger closet. The rapper debuted yet another Adidas sneaker when he took the stage at The Forum in Los Angeles this past weekend.

The newest Adidas collaboration features an all-yellow version of the brand’s Response CL sneaker. The shoe, which was first seen earlier this year in white, now boasts a few different shades of yellow, including yellow laces. It also includes black and red details and the “dripping” ice cream look common on some of his other shoes, like the ZX 8000 last summer. The brand’s recognizable three-stripe logo on Bad Bunny’s new sneakers is silver with a thick, black outline.

The numerous past collabs between Bad Bunny and Adidas over the last year include the “The First Café,” his version of the Originals Forum Buckle Low sneaker;  the “Easter Egg” made of pink leather and pink suede; and his special edition “Forum Sneaker” collection called “Bad Bunny Forum-Back to School Shoes.”

Reaction online so far has been mostly positive with people praising the bold and bright look of the shoe. Others, however, said it reminded them of the animated character Pikachu. Maybe Bad Bunny is trying to join in on J Balvin’s Pokémon partnership.

Of course, like with most of Bad Bunny’s sneaker previews, there is very little information from the rapper or Adidas on the official release of the shoe. So, if you’re a Bad Bunny fan who is also collecting all his kicks, you’ll need to keep your eyes and ears open, so you can get your hands on a pair. We all know it won’t be a surprise if they sell out in minutes.
