Bad Bunny’s 2026 has been nothing short of historic. Grammy Album of the Year. A Super Bowl halftime show for the ages. And a signature sneaker that sold out before most people even had a chance to check out. Today, March 28th, the third chapter of that story lands with the adidas BadBo 1.0 “Rise” — and if the first two drops taught us anything, you’d better not sleep on this one.
From Collab King to Signature Star
Bad Bunny’s relationship with adidas spans well over half a decade, during which he’s put his own spin on classics like the Forum Low, the Response CL, and multiple colorways of the Campus — and every single one sold out. But the BadBo 1.0 is something different entirely. It represents the first-ever signature adidas silhouette from Bad Bunny, arriving as the culmination of that five-year partnership between the global superstar and the brand.
The model first made its debut with a brown colorway the morning after the Grammy Awards, followed quickly by the white “Resilience” release the morning after his Super Bowl LX performance. Both pairs moved instantly. Now comes “Rise” — and the timing, the design, and the meaning behind it make this the most compelling drop of the three.
What “Rise” Represents
This isn’t just a colorway name slapped on for marketing purposes. The “Rise” colorway draws influence from Bad Bunny’s continued championing of Puerto Rico, reflecting Benito’s ongoing commitment to the island and his relentless rise to global stardom. And if you’ve been keeping up with his music, you may have already spotted this exact colorway in the music video for “BOKeTE.”
The BadBo star logo on the heel isn’t just decorative either. According to adidas, it draws inspiration from the Puerto Rican flag and is intended to represent “origin, joy, and the limitless possibilities that come from staying true to where you’re from.” That ethos runs through every stitch of this shoe.
The Design Breakdown
The “Rise” flips the two-tone approach of the debut brown colorway — this time putting black on the nubuck underlay with white hairy teasel suede laid on top, rounded out by an EVA cushioned midsole and a brown rubber outsole. The signature hallmarks are all present: a zig-zag stitch on the tongue and the BadBo logo at the heel.
The asymmetrical dual-collar silhouette sets it apart from anything else in adidas’s current lineup , giving the shoe a streetwear-meets-skate-lifestyle energy that feels genuinely fresh. The gum outsole is the finishing touch — a nod to vintage aesthetics that keeps the whole thing grounded.
More Than Just a Shoe — There’s an Apparel Drop Too
For the first time alongside a BadBo 1.0 release, adidas Originals and Bad Bunny are also launching a BadBo apparel capsule designed for the moments beyond the stage. The comfort-focused collection draws inspiration from Bad Bunny’s off-duty personal style and includes track jackets, track pants, sweatshirts, hats, and a heavyweight sweatsuit crafted from premium French terry cotton. Think elevated basics with a luxury feel — the kind of stuff Benito would actually throw on before heading out.
How to Cop
The adidas BadBo 1.0 “Rise” retails for $160, with the accompanying apparel collection dropping March 28, 2026 at 10AM ET via the CONFIRMED app, adidas.com, and select retailers worldwide. CONFIRMED app sign-ups opened on March 24th , so if you registered, now’s the moment.
And if you’re thinking about waiting for a restock — don’t. Both previous BadBo 1.0 colorways sold out quickly, with the Brown pair in particular commanding close to $700 on resale platforms like StockX. The “Rise” is a limited release, and with the momentum Bad Bunny is carrying right now, demand isn’t going anywhere.
