As the World Baseball Classic gets underway, national teams are showcasing special gear designed for the global tournament. Team Puerto Rico recently revealed a standout pair of cleats tied to one of the island’s biggest cultural figures.
The adidas BadBo 1.0 “Puerto Rico” cleat was unveiled by several Team Puerto Rico players on social media, including Kiké Hernández, José De León, Edwin Díaz, and Martín Maldonado. The player-exclusive design connects directly to Bad Bunny’s heritage, blending baseball performance with the superstar’s growing influence within adidas’ footwear lineup.
Visually, the cleat features a bold two-tone blue upper inspired by Puerto Rico’s national colors. Subtle details add meaning to the design, including Bad Bunny’s initials and references to Puerto Rico placed near the ankle collar. The look highlights national pride while celebrating the artist’s connection to the island.
For now, this particular “Puerto Rico” edition remains a player-exclusive release worn by Team Puerto Rico during the tournament. However, adidas is expected to launch the BadBo 1.0 baseball cleat to the public later this year, marking the silhouette’s broader debut beyond the diamond.
The reveal adds another layer of anticipation around the BadBo line, especially as Bad Bunny continues expanding his influence across sports, culture, and footwear.
