Bad Bunny is back with Adidas to launch another hot shoe, and it might be his best collaborative style yet.
Eagle-eyed fans have likely already seen the new shoe before. The “Nuevayol” singer laced up his latest Ballerina style in vivid red during his sold-out residency in Puerto Rico. According to a press release from Adidas, the Ballerina color scheme was inspired by “the vibrant bloom of Puerto Rico’s Flamboyán trees as they flower in late May.”
The new Ballerina colorway drops on Saturday, May 30, at 2 p.m. ET/11 a.m. PT on Adidas.com. The shoe retails for $120 and comes in fiery red with contrasting white accents.
Textured suede uppers give way to bungee-cord laces, keeping the shoes more securely fastened to the feet than traditional closures. This is a slim, streamlined silhouette designed for everyday wear that looks very similar to Adidas’ Taekwondo shoe released in the early 2000s, created for performance without laces for martial arts combat.
The Flamboyán tree produces vibrant red flowers. The tree and its flowers hold a special place in Puerto Rican folklore, seen as a symbol of resilience.
We love the vivid red Ballerina because it is a sporty take on dancerly footwear and one that you can wear more frequently without damage, unlike a less-structured ballet flat made of flimsier materials. You’ll get more mileage out of a shoe like this because of its sturdy construction. We also recommend the Bad Bunny Ballerina because the color isn’t already available in Adidas’ Ballerina line, and is vastly different in color from anything the artist has dropped with the brand in the past. It’s an entirely new offering, and it can serve as a statement shoe in your rotation.
Adidas and Bad Bunny last dropped a new BADBO 1.0 model on March 28 to widespread fanfare. The beige and black sneaker sold out almost instantly, just like the other collaborative styles the musician has had a hand in creating. The current resale value of the shoe is astronomical, nearly $700 on sites such as StockX, GOAT, Stadium Goods or Farfetch. With all the hype surrounding the BADBO 1.0, it’s likely this new Ballerina shoe will go just as fast. You’ll want to buy while you can before it gets marked up for high prices on resale sites.
Originally launched in 2025, Adidas’ Ballerina comes in many forms, from pink satin like your standard ballet shoe, to a lace-up low top. There are even models with crisscrossing velcro straps that wear similarly to a Mary Jane. Bad Bunny’s first Ballerina model launched back in 2025 in a bold gold colorway. Similar to his latest vivid red creation, the bold gold Ballerina featured suede touches but came in a yellow gold hue.
The two first partnered up in March 2021 with an inaugural launch of The First Cafe, a coffee-inspired Adidas Forum Buckle Low. Since then, they have come together on numerous occasions to give fans and followers styles all inspired by Bad Bunny’s style, music and swagger, including the Adidas AdiRacer GT, Adidas Forum Powerphase and, our personal favorite, the Adidas Gazelle Indoor.

At just 19, Milo J made history at the 2026 Premios Gardel on Tuesday (May 26), becoming the most awarded artist ever in a single edition after taking home 13 trophies, including the coveted Gardel de Oro.

Accepting the night’s top prize, the artist said, “I want to thank everyone — especially those I don’t always have time to thank for everything they’ve done for me. I want you to know that, in one way or another, you saved my life. And to music, which saved me from not being happy.”
The Argentine star opened the night with a moving performance of “Niño” and “Luciérnagas,” backed by a children’s choir. He also added, “La Vida Era Más Corta was an album that, beyond what it may have generated in people, changed my life; mine and a lot of other people’s. I want to thank everyone, those I don’t always have the time to thank for everything they did for me. I want you to know that you saved my life in one way or another. And to music, which saved me from not being happy.”

One of the biggest Colombian pop hits of the past decade turned 10 this week. Released in 2016, Carlos Vives and Shakira’s “La Bicicleta” became a major crossover success, reaching No. 1 on Latin Airplay and Latin Pop Airplay, among other chart achievements.
“10 years ago we made this song that we called ‘A desperate vallenato,’ but when Afo Verde had the idea of sending it to Shakira … ‘La Bicicleta’ was born,” Vives captioned on Instagram on Thursday (May 28). “We have sung and danced to it around the world and we have been very happy. And well, what can I tell you, I am still the same messy-haired guy, on a bike that takes me everywhere. I love you Shak!!! Happy birthday to our song and thank you Andres Castro for creating it with us.”

Salsa’s origin story is getting a fresh spotlight with Our Thing: The Birth of Salsa in Nueva York, a new eight-episode podcast hosted by Rosie Perez and produced by Futuro Media. Premiering Tuesday (May 26), the series is described in a press release as “the most comprehensive audio narrative yet made about the birth and wild heights of salsa, a genre that continues to shape global culture today.”
The podcast goes back to 1964, when a Dominican musician and an Italian-American ex-cop founded Fania Records in New York City, ultimately helping spark a global cultural revolution, according to the release. It chronicles the rise of Willie Colón, Héctor Lavoe, Celia Cruz, Rubén Blades and the Fania All Stars, while tracing a legacy that runs through the artists dominating music streaming today, like Bad Bunny, Rauw Alejandro, and Karol G.
Topics across the eight episodes include “the night salsa crystallized as an art form at the Cheetah Club in 1971, the Young Lords and FBI surveillance of Fania artists, Celia Cruz’s ascent to global icon, and the Afro-Caribbean roots of the music, the drugs, betrayal, and lawsuits that ultimately brought the label down,” according to the release.
A decade after his last performance on the island, Nicky Jam returned to the Coliseo de Puerto Rico José Miguel Agrelot (a.k.a. El Choli) on Memorial Weekend (May 23 and 24) with two sold-out El Regreso a Casa concerts. The back-to-back shows marked a full-circle moment for the reggaetón star, whose homecoming drew a multigenerational lineup of surprise guests including J Balvin, Jowell & Randy, Tito El Bambino, Zion, Cosculluela, Justin Quiles, Lenny Tavárez, Lunay and Ñejo.
The pair of sold-out shows underscored Nicky’s everlasting bond with his native Puerto Rico and the genre’s roots. Framed as a celebration of reggaetón’s past and present, the event brought together key figures from across eras of Latin urban music on one of Puerto Rico’s most important stages.
