Bad Bunny x Adidas Ballerina "Flamboyan" Wide Release Confirmed for May 30 — Sneaker Media Rounds Up Summer 2026 Adidas Drops
On May 12, 2026, Hypebeast published a comprehensive roundup of upcoming Bad Bunny x Adidas releases for summer 2026, confirming multiple new colorways and release windows. The centrepiece is the Adidas Ballerina "Flamboyan" (style code KI7916, Vivid Red/Cloud White-Power Red, $120) — named after the flamboyán tree, Puerto Rico's iconic flowering tree whose fiery red-orange canopy blankets the island every spring and is a deep symbol of Puerto Rican identity. The shoe is spelled in the Puerto Rican vernacular spelling rather than standard Spanish 'flamboyán,' consistent with *Debí Tirar Más Fotos*' emphasis on local cultural specificity. An early drop is scheduled May 15 at All The Right; wide release on Adidas Confirmed and select retailers follows May 30. The Hypebeast roundup also catalogued three new F50 Ghost Sprint colorways carrying Bad Bunny co-design credits — Dark Marine (KI9450), Solar Slime (KI7711), and Core Black (HP4218) — expanding his 2026 Adidas football range ahead of the FIFA World Cup 2026, building on the global campaign he co-starred in alongside Lionel Messi and Timothée Chalamet on May 6. The Flamboyan continues Bad Bunny's Adidas silhouette series launched in 2019 (Forum Low), progressing through the Campus Light, Forum Buckle Low, and BadBo 1.0 (March–April 2026, all sold out). The partnership is one of the highest-profile celebrity shoe collaborations in Adidas history and has consistently set demand records.
