Bad Bunny began building his sneaker empire just under a year ago, and he’s celebrating the landmark with an Adidas model that’s never been done before. Aptly named the Forum PWR, the sneaker combines the upper of Adidas’ Forum with the sole of its Powerphase silhouette, mixing in a varied palette of tan, black, pink, blue, yellow, and orange.
Adidas revealed on Instagram that the colorful collaboration — first teased in January — bears the nickname “Catch and Throw” as a nod to Benito’s childhood, when he often played a game by the same name. Further playing on nostalgia, the pair is inspired by early 2000s skate culture and by the looks of its promo campaign, breakdancing groups. Doubled-up details on the tongue and heel patch help the Forum PWR achieve the same chunky look as shoes from the Y2K era, most notably DC Shoes.
