Lionel Messi and Bad Bunny have teamed up to create a game-changing version of the adidas Gazelle Indoor sneaker, blending their unique styles in a collaboration that’s making waves in the sneaker world. This isn’t just any ordinary shoe; it’s a limited-edition masterpiece that perfectly represents the fusion of soccer’s greatest player with one of the most influential artists in music.
Arriving in a tan ‘Cardboard’ colour scheme, this three-way Gazelle is crafted from premium leather that takes its quality up a notch compared to standard Gazelles. The shoe features a slightly warped, asymmetrical T-shaped toebox, adding a fresh twist to its classic design. Stitched across the sidewalls are serrated Three Stripe branding in ‘Cream White,’ which also appears in an ‘X’ formation around the heel, a subtle nod to the collaboration. The shoe’s upper rests on top of a see-through gum sole, enhancing its overall aesthetic, while touches of soft suede at the ankle give the sneaker an extra level of sophistication.
To make this collab even more special, both Messi’s and Bad Bunny’s signatures are inked in red along the sidewalls, solidifying their partnership on this unique canvas. The tongue and insoles read “Bad Bunny para Messi,” celebrating the collaboration between these two icons. And just when you thought it couldn’t get any better, the sneaker comes packaged in a limited-edition box that’s sure to be a collector’s item for fans of both Messi and Benito.
This release is more than just a sneaker drop; it’s a meeting of two forces who have redefined their respective fields. Messi has been an ambassador for Adidas since 2006, often focusing on the classic Samba silhouette, while Bad Bunny, who began working with Adidas four years ago, has made his mark by revitalising old-school models like the Forum Low and Response CL. Together, they’ve brought their creative energies to the Gazelle Indoor, which is rapidly becoming one of Adidas’ most hyped models.
The Lionel Messi x Bad Bunny x Adidas Gazelle Indoor ‘Cardboard’ is set to drop on October 26 through Adidas, the Confirmed app, and select stockists worldwide, priced at around £140. With two living legends joining forces to reinterpret one of the year’s most popular sneakers, this collaboration is destined to be a surefire hit—an intersection of sport, style, and culture that makes perfect sense.
