Bad Bunny is set to drop his latest adidas collaboration, the Ballerina “Core Black”, following the success of his sixth studio album. Moving away from his usual chunky sneaker designs, this new silhouette features a sleek, low-profile build while keeping his unique creative touch.

Inspired by adidas’ archives, the Ballerina receives a fresh lifestyle update. The upper includes suede overlays on the toe and heel for added texture and durability. A metallic silver “Benito” branding appears on the lateral side, paying homage to the artist’s real name. Instead of traditional flat laces, the sneaker features a speed-lacing system, offering a modern and functional look. A sturdy rubber outsole ensures longevity, making it both stylish and practical.

Similar to Bad Bunny’s SL 72 collaboration, the sneaker’s packaging embraces the retro appeal of adidas Originals. The design merges performance, nostalgia, and contemporary streetwear, fitting seamlessly into the artist’s evolving sneaker catalog.

Bad Bunny adidas Ballerina Black Release Date

The Bad Bunny x adidas Ballerina “Core Black” is scheduled to release in May 2025 at select adidas retailers and adidas.com for $120 USD. Given Bad Bunny’s history of sell-out sneaker drops, this release is expected to be highly sought after.

With a refined aesthetic and strong cultural influence, the Ballerina “Core Black” further cements Bad Bunny’s impact on sneaker culture. Fans and collectors should act fast to secure a pair before they disappear.
