Following the successful launch of the Ballerina silhouette last year, adidas Originals and Bad Bunny introduce a new Vivid Red colorway, drawing inspiration from thevibrant bloom of Puerto Rico’s Flamboyán trees as they flower in late May.
Originally launched in 2025, the Ballerina quickly became a standout release for adidas Originals, tapping into, and helping define the growing demand for low-profile silhouettes. First introduced by Benito himself in 2024, the silhouette established a new expression of adidas’ design language, where the brand's reinterpretations of heritage and lifestyle continue to resonate across global markets.
Drawing its design inspiration from the iconic adidas Taekwondo model, originally crafted for martial artists at the peak of their sport in the early 2000s, the Ballerina fuses sleek, modern aesthetics with a nod to its performance heritage. Design touches incorporate premium suede overlays on the toe and heel, enhancing its texture, while a stream lined shape and bungee-cord laces offer a secure, contemporary fit. The sneaker also features unique “Benito” branding near the signature Three Stripes and a special sizing tag on the exterior, serving as a tribute to his past adidas collaborations.
