Bad Bunny will soon release another pair of adidas sneakers. This time, the kicks are in celebration of San Juan, Puerto Rico.

Bad Bunny x adidas Gazelle Indoor “San Juan” sneakers are expected to drop on June 23. They feature an ocean blue and grayish-blue suede with the signature Three-Stripe adidas logo in white. And there’s no official price point for them.

The sneaker also sports a thick gum sole and the words “adidas” and “San Juan” embossed on the heel counter. In past versions of this shoe, the name “Benito” was branded on the side. This includes the “Core White” colorway.

According to SBD, one unique detail of the new sneaker is the “warped toe box overlay,” which is different from past Gazelle Indoor designs.

The Gazelle was introduced by adidas in 1966 as “one of the first-ever performance footwear styles to incorporate suede in place of leather.” Other celebrities who have designed their own version of the Gazelle include Japanese fashion designer Yohji Yamamoto, American sneaker designer Sean Wotherspoon, and Italian luxury fashion house Gucci.

Social media users seemed on board once photos of the “San Juan” sneakers were revealed online this past weekend. Some comments included, “Those are fire,” “I need these by yesterday,” and “Those details are so nice.”

Bad Bunny recently wrapped up his Most Wanted Tour with the third sold out concert in Puerto Rico. Benito didn’t give away any of the new Gazelle Indoor at his concerts, but we’re sure we’re going to be seeing a lot of Puerto Ricans sporting these sneakers in the coming weeks.
