If you're looking to refresh your rotation, start here.
Bad Bunny x adidas Adizero SL72 'Brown/Pink'
Unveiled during the exclusive 'Archive' exhibit in Puerto Rico, the Bad Bunny x adidas Adizero SL72 'Brown/Pink' takes a heritage silhouette and gives it a fresh, rebellious twist.
Inspired by Neopolitan ice cream, the design serves up a nostalgic yet modern colour combo that's playful, stylish and unmistakably Band Bunny.
Built on adidas' Adizero cushioning platform, the SL72 gets a contemporary upgrade without loosing its old-school charm.
The upper features a rich mix of suede and breathable mesh, with chocolate brown dominating the top, balanced by cream laces and adidas' iconic Three-Stripes. It is both functional and fashion-forward, perfect for everyday wear or making a statement.
A wave of 'Clear Pink' mesh flows across the lower half, meeting blue striping and soft 'Hazy Rose' overlays that melt into the pastel pink sole.
The result is a layered, mismatched look that feels spontaneous and bold. Just like the reggaeton star himself, this sneaker does not shy away from attention.
The Bad Bunny x adidas Adizero SL72 'Brown/Pink' will retail for US$160 (~RM750) and will be available starting 1st October at all adidas stores and online. Get ready to scoop yours up before they disappear from the shelves.
Bodega x PUMA Suede
Dropping under the theme 'Engineered for Expression,' this collaboration reimagines the iconic silhouette with a design that's all about individuality.
Whether you're a longtime fan of the Suede or just getting into sneaker culture, this release brings something fresh and thoughtful to the table.
This is paired with a rugged brown midsole and elevated by luxe details like a plush leather lining and a neon green inner collar that pops just enough without being too loud.
But the real standout? Looped and interlaced cords replace the traditional Formstrip, transforming it into a customisable canvas of self-expression.
From visible stitching around the eyelets to the cross-stitched tongue and cork insole, the details are considered and rich. It's the kind of sneaker that invites you to experiment, whether you're pairing it with neutral tones or going full maximalist.
The collab also includes a full apparel capsule, featuring graphic tees, jerseys, outerwear and shorts to complete the fit.
The Bodega x PUMA Suede will be available starting 9th August exclusively via Bodega's retail channels. Pricing and SKU details will be announced soon, so keep your eyes on Bodega's site and socials if you don't want to miss out on this limited drop.

Why superstar concerts are skipping Real Madrid's Bernabeu for Atletico's stadium
MADRID, July 24 — Mired in legal setbacks, Real Madrid are losing the lucrative star-studded concerts for which their costly Bernabeu stadium revamp was designed — and cross-town rivals Atletico are cashing in. The megaproject involved three loans totalling more than €1 billion (RM4.9 billion) with the goal of transforming the historic ground into a year-round entertainment hub. But the Spanish giants had not reckoned with the determination of angry locals, whose complaints about excessive noise succeeded in stopping the concerts in 2024. With the complaints bogged down in the courts, Atletico Madrid's Metropolitano stadium snapped up the shows of three Spanish stars who were due to perform at the Bernabeu this summer. A bigger coup followed: the announcement of the hosting of 10 gigs next year by reggaeton superstar Bad Bunny, a multiple Grammy Awards winner who sold a Spanish record 600,000 tickets for 12 dates in Madrid and Barcelona. The Puerto Rican's arrival appears to contradict the belief of Madrid's Atletico-supporting mayor Jose Luis Martinez-Almeida, who insisted only the Bernabeu could attract the most prestigious performers like US icon Taylor Swift. For Placido Rodriguez Guerrero, emeritus professor at the University of Oviedo's economics department, 'the reputational damage has been big' for Real. 'It is a way of showing that not everything Real Madrid do is done well, and more so if the concerts go to the Metropolitano,' he told AFP. Lola Indigo, one of the singers whose cancelled Bernabeu show went to the Metropolitano, told El Mundo daily she felt 'disappointment, a little betrayed'. 'Major blow' Club president Florentino Perez has reassured supporters that concerts only represent one per cent of Real's budget, with revenues topping €1.1 billion in the 2024/25 season. But David Dunn, managing director of the Edinburgh-based consultancy 442 Design, which has worked on commercial projects with clubs including Arsenal and AC Milan, described the situation as 'a major blow' for Real. Although the matchday, tour and retail business revenue is 'excellent', the club 'will have banked on being able to hold multiple large-scale events and concerts', he told AFP. Business Insider Spain has reported Real's plan was to generate around €100 million per year from musical events — enough to sign a couple of stars. Professor Rodriguez Guerrero said Real were losing 'tens of millions of euros' this summer to their less storied local rivals, who have previously hosted stars including Bruce Springsteen, the Rolling Stones and Bruno Mars. If Real wish to pursue their concert ambitions, the investment 'will cost quite a lot', he said. Solution 'not simple' For Francesc Daumal, an architecture expert at Barcelona's Polytechnic University of Catalonia, the Bernabeu's main weakness is its new retractable roof and the acoustic issues it engenders. The stadium 'is like a tent, because it's shut with a light closure. There are openings, exterior sheets that let air in', he explained. 'Solving the insulation for those deep frequencies and with those very high acoustic pressures isn't simple,' warned Daumal. Atletico's stadium 'was born from the start with the intention of soundproofing it', whereas adapting the older Bernabeu is more difficult, he added. Daumal also identified the Bernabeu's proximity to residential buildings as a challenge to contain noise, compared with the esplanade that separates the Metropolitano from its closest neighbours. Atletico are meanwhile cashing in on a packed summer concert schedule with the Bernabeu out of action. Fans flocked to the Metropolitano in May for two sold-out nights by British star Ed Sheeran, with 140,000 tickets going at an average price of €100 (US$115). Sara, who attended last year's Taylor Swift concert at the Bernabeu, told AFP the Metropolitano was 'better as a place… it's a club with more ties to music'. 'Acoustically, the Bernabeu is the worst place we've seen,' added the 34-year-old communications sector employee, who declined to give her surname. Ariel Jackson, a 30-year-old lawyer from the Caribbean nation of Trinidad and Tobago, said the Metropolitano had 'extra space' and was 'more comfortable' than the Bernabeu thanks to its distance from the crowded city centre. 'We love to say concerts are held' at the Metropolitano amid the Bernabeu's troubles, enthused Atletico fan David Guerrero, 27, sporting a club shirt with Sheeran's name on the back. — AFP

Adidas and Dion Cools unveil heritage-inspired jersey
ADIDAS MALAYSIA launches a limited edition jersey inspired by national footballer Dion Cools, celebrating his heritage, cultural identity, and remarkable football journey. This jersey, a seamless blend of culture and performance, symbolises national pride, resilience, and unity. Designed in collaboration with Dion Cools – the first Malaysian to play for Japanese top-flight club Cerezo Osaka and a key defender for the Malaysian national team – the jersey reflects the athlete's deep connection to his roots and the nation he represents. Collaboration with Dion Cools A stalwart in Malaysia's national team since 2021, Dion Cools has become a symbol of local football defined by grit, leadership and cultural pride. The limited edition jersey reflects this narrative, drawing from Dion's standout performances and his unwavering commitment to representing the country at the highest level. 'Football has given me an incredible platform to represent where I come from and what I stand for. Partnering with adidas on this jersey let me tell that story in a whole new way. adidas has always stood for pushing boundaries. Through this collaboration, I hope to inspire others to embrace their identity and push for greatness,' said Dion Cools. Celebrating Culture Through Sport Born in Kuching, Sarawak and raised in Belgium, Dion was eligible to represent either country at international level, but ultimately chose to wear the Malaysian badge. This jersey design honours that decision: Infused with heritage-inspired patterns and modern performance detailing, the design reflects the duality of Dion's roots and career. 'At adidas, we believe in the power of sport to unite cultures, amplify stories and create new possibilities. Dion's story reflects everything adidas stands for: cultural authenticity, bold choices, and performance at the highest level,' said Preston Page, Country Manager, adidas Malaysia. The Dion Cools limited edition jersey is available in two colourways at select adidas stores and online via Retailing at RM169, consumers will get to redeem a complimentary collectible Dion Cools player card with each purchase, while stocks last.
