When the Bad Bunny Adiracer GT hits the streets this November, don’t just expect another sneaker drop—expect a full-throttle collision of culture, horsepower, and unapologetic flair.
adidas Originals, Bad Bunny, and the Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS F1 Team have joined forces to create the Bad Bunny Adiracer GT and the accompanying Bad Bunny Motorsport Collection, a line that merges music, motorsport, and streetwear into one screaming burst of velocity.
This isn’t your average celebrity collab. It’s born from history in motion. Back on August 2nd, a Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS F1 car roared across San Juan’s iconic Puente Dos Hermanos—marking the first time in history that a Formula 1 machine touched Puerto Rican soil. That ear-splitting spectacle wasn’t just for show—it was the ignition spark for a partnership that’s now driving fashion into a faster gear.
And in true Bad Bunny fashion, the global superstar didn’t just lend his name—he joined the team. Officially. The Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS F1 Team has announced Bad Bunny as its newest member, adding his unorthodox swagger to a world built on precision and speed.
“This collaboration is about energy in motion, where culture accelerates and style takes the lead,” adidas said.
The Bad Bunny Adiracer GT first revved into public view at adidas Originals: The Archive exhibition at the Museo de Arte de Puerto Rico, unveiled during the artist’s sold-out No Me Quiero Ir de Aquí residency. Fans got a first glimpse of the futuristic silhouette—a design that blurs the line between pit lane and pavement.
At its core, the Adiracer GT is a modern revival of the vintage driving shoe: low, sleek, and effortlessly fluid. Its exoskeleton frame overlays a refined suede base inspired by materials used in real F1 racing footwear. The result? A shoe that feels as ready for the track as it does for the afterparty.
The apparel line follows suit, fusing archival racing cues with Bad Bunny’s cultural imprint. Think bold typography, high-contrast color blocking, and the standout “94” insignia—a nod to both race numbers and his birth year. The range includes a zip-up tee, race jacket, gloves, and pants—all crafted from premium materials that carry the weight of racing’s high-speed elegance while maintaining the artist’s street-born edge.
The Bad Bunny Motorsport Collection doesn’t just reimagine fashion—it redefines the energy that ties music, motorsport, and rebellion together. It’s a meeting of minds between adidas Originals, Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS F1, and one of the most influential artists of the decade. All three share a taste for innovation and a refusal to coast.
Together, they’ve built something more than merchandise—they’ve built momentum.
The Bad Bunny Adiracer GT and Bad Bunny Motorsport Collection will be available globally in November 2025.
