A Gazelle Partnership Rooted in Puerto Rico

Bad Bunny and adidas Originals began reimagining the Gazelle in 2024.

The blue “San Juan” Gazelle paid tribute to his native Puerto Rico. The supplied release also identifies Casa Amadeo, described as New York City’s first Puerto Rican music shop and oldest continuously operating Latin music store, as an inspiration.

The design celebrated the cultural exchange between Puerto Rico and its diaspora, establishing a direction for later releases.

City Series Celebrated Three Parts of the Island

In 2025, the Gazelle City Series launched during Bad Bunny’s Puerto Rican residency, highlighting three locations through distinct colours.

• Gazelle “El Yunque” used deep green tones to honour the biodiversity of the only tropical rainforest in the US National Forest System.
• Gazelle “Santurce” arrived in vivid orange, reflecting the neighbourhood’s role in Puerto Rican music, dance and contemporary art.
• Gazelle “Cabo Rojo” featured vibrant pink inspired by the region’s salt flats and rare pink waters, while celebrating the local community’s resilience.

Echoing the sentiment of No Me Quiero Ir De Aquí, the campaign featured Puerto Rican elders as keepers of the island’s stories and memories.
