The Bad Bunny x adidas Response CL arrives as the duo’s latest creative endeavour, having already undergone an exclusive release last month in Puerto Rico. Since the birth of their dynamic partnership back in March 2021, the Three-Stripes and Puerto-Rican rapper have been killing the game with progressive iterations. From the adidas Forum Buckle Low to adidas Campus Wild Moss, each model is a perfect example of the innovative relationship shared between the alliance.
Initially debuted in April, the multi-hyphenate teased the kicks for an appearance at the WWE. Five months later, social media users from Puerto Rico began to share images of their local newspaper, but it wasn’t the news they were interested in. The ad page depicted the collaborative adidas Response CL, a phone number, and the bold words ‘MOST WANTED’. Calling this number cleverly led to a pre-recorded message stating where the shoe would drop, at the Western-specialising Aperos 4J store in the country. When it comes to effective marketing and getting the community involved, this one gets a big thumbs up from us.
Adopting an earthy palette of ‘Ecru Tint’ and ‘Bronze Strata’ hues, this iteration achieves a dynamic persona through abstract overlays. A breathable white mesh base acts as the perfect canvas for the experimental upper, which expresses each tone in a visually eclectic manner. Adding a pop of colour into the mix is a violet purple, flooding the toe, heel and aglets.
Following its exclusive Puerto Rican release last month, the Bad Bunny x adidas Response CL ‘Ercu Tint’ will be going global on the 28TH OCTOBER ‘23 via ADIDAS & SELECTED STOCKISTS. Stay locked to our socials @thedropdate for the latest sneaker news & updates!
