Adidas and Bad Bunny are giving away a trip to Puerto Rico at Grand Central today

Time Out03-07-2025
Grand Central Terminal commuters got a little less jaded and a whole lot more hyped today, thanks to a takeover that's part sneaker drop, part Willy Wonka fever dream.
Adidas Originals and global reggaeton phenom Bad Bunny have transformed one of New York's most iconic transit hubs into a destination of its own—one that could land you on a flight straight to Puerto Rico.
As part of the new campaign supporting Bad Bunny's ' No me quiero ir de aqui ' residency, the Three Stripes brand has set up 60 bright blue lockers inside Grand Central, one of which contains a coveted golden ticket. The prize? A two-night, three-day all-expenses-paid trip to Puerto Rico that includes round-trip airfare, premium hotel accommodations, concert tickets to see Bad Bunny live and a special Adidas x Bad Bunny swag package. Think of it as your passport to Benito paradise.
Here's how it works: Head to Grand Central before 5 p.m. today and try your luck. Attendees pull a key from a bowl of 200-plus options, but only one unlocks the magic.
If you can't make it to Midtown, Adidas hasn't forgotten you. Fans nationwide can enter a separate 'Bad Bunny Fan Quiz' through the Adidas CONFIRMED app for a digital shot at winning the same Puerto Rican getaway. You've got until July 18 to get your trivia right and your hopes up.
The giveaway marks Adidas's latest play in their ongoing partnership with Bad Bunny, which continues to blend sneaker culture, music stardom and destination-worthy experiences. It's also perfectly timed with the buzz around the newly revealed adidas x Bad Bunny Gazelle 'Wonder Clay,' a sneaker as creamy and cool as its name suggests.
Given that subway rides here usually come with nothing but delays and dubious smells, this pop-up feels like a rare kind of magic: part brand stunt, part tropical daydream. So if you've got time to spare—and dreams of sipping rum in San Juan —you might want to make a detour through Grand Central today.

Adam Sandler fans rush to watch Happy Gilmore 2 and are 'surprised'

Adam Sandler is back as Happy Gilmore, with a sequel to the beloved first film now out on Netflix. People have been sharing their reactions, which features a number of celebrity cameos After nearly three decades, Adam Sandler is back as the hilarious golfer Happy Gilmour, in a sequel film which launched on Netflix last week. Fans have been rushing to watch the much-anticipated second film - and they have been sharing their reactions. ‌ The original film, starring Julie Bowen, Christopher McDonald, Ben Stiller and the late Carl Weathers, became a staple at teenage sleepovers upon its release in 1996. Fans were convinced they would never see the day the rough-around-the-edges golfer would make a comeback, but Happy Gilmore 2 sees its eponymous character return to golf for the first time since defeating Shooter McGavin all those years ago. ‌ There are some fantastic cameos in the film. Golfing legends John Daly, Paige Spiranac, Rory McIlroy, Scottie Scheffler, Bryson DeChambeau, Brooks Koepka, Justin Thomas and Will Zalatoris all make appearances in the movie, released on July 25. ‌ There are also cameos from Oppenheimer's Benny Safdie Oppenheimer, Puerto Rican musician Bad Bunny, and professional wrestlers MJF and Becky Lynch. NFL star Travis Kelce also appears, along with comedic stars Jon Lovitz, Rob Schneider and Steve Buscemi, and musician Post Malone. Netflix shared a clip of the new film on X and said: "Happy Gilmore 2 is now playing." People rushed to share their thoughts. Some who haven't watched it yet shared their concerns, as one said: "Why am I afraid this is going to suck?" Another added: "Have low expectations. Hopefully I'm wrong." ‌ But others rushed to reassure fans of the original film that it is worth a watch. One individual said: "Just watched. 10/10." "Loved every second of it," commented another. One other wrote: "Just stayed up all night to watch before I have to go to work. It was very, very good. As a Shooter fan, thank you Adam Sandler." Another said: "Been looking forward to it for a while. And it certainly didn't disappoint. It keeps the same high-calibre level of creativity that only the man himself, Adam Sandler can deliver. And the amount of names that take roles is phenomenal." ‌ One other was surprised by how much they enjoyed it. They said: "Genuinely one of the funniest films I have seen in a long time. It's a nostalgic wonder and I love the fact that it keeps the 90's humour alive! I almost want to say they don't make films like this anymore but I'm obviously wrong." Sharing a detailed review, one other summarised: "Was surprised I actually enjoyed it. Was worried it was going to just be a rehash of the original and its not." They added: "It's a completely new story with great call backs and great cameos. I'll say it started a little weak but got 10x better as it went on. Is it better than the original? No of course not but it's still very enjoyable." Happy Gilmore 2 is available to stream on Netflix.

Holly Willoughby looks incredible in black strapless bikini selfie as she throws support behind Oasis' gigs

HOLLY Willoughby looks incredible in a new selfie, while donning a black strapless bikini and a bucket hat. The 44-year-old star left fans in a frenzy as she shared the black and white image with her 8.2million Instagram followers. 4 4 She grinned from ear to ear and had her eyes covered by the Adidas bucket hat, in a show of support for Oasis as they play another Wembley gig. The popular TV presenter, who could be seen standing in a garden, penned: 'When your not in Wembley but your head is… have fun tonight if you're lucky enough to be going 🖤.' Holly accessorised with a beaded necklace with her initial 'H' on, and fans flooded the comments to tell the star how good she looked. 'You look stunning,' one person wrote, while another added: 'stunningly beautiful lady.' Others shared fire emojis and love hearts beneath Holly's bikini pic. And the selfie comes as fans descended on Wembley on Friday night, for Oasis' London gigs. Oasis superfans in bucket hats and branded T-shirts packed the Tube en route to the gig from earlier in the day, with international accents denoting the band's worldwide popularity. As with previous gigs, Liam and Noel walked onstage hand in hand, opened with Hello and proceeded to belt out many of their classics including Some Might Say and Morning Glory. And they paid an emotional tribute to Ozzy Osbourne at their first gig in London for more than a decade. Oasis pay poignant tribute to Ozzy Osbourne as 'Rock N Roll Star' appears on screen at Wembley in emotional song The band lit up a screen at Wembley Stadium with an image of the rock legend towards the end of the performance of their track Live Forever.

I didn't know much about Oasis - I still left Wembley in tears

When I found out I was going to see Oasis, it felt like winning a golden ticket to Willy Wonka's chocolate factory – only to remember I've never had much of a sweet tooth. Growing up in the U.S., Oasis were 'those guys who sang Wonderwall,' a song so overplayed and parodied it barely registered as music anymore. I honestly thought they were a one-hit wonder – a British meme band people pretended to like for the bit. So when I moved to the UK and realised that Oasis aren't just a band here, but a cultural institution, I was baffled. How could something so massive not have translated to the States, when we're famously greedy for British exports? We'll take your Shakespeare, your Love Island, your Paddington, but somehow not your Gallagher brothers? Every time I tried to listen to Oasis, it felt like walking into a house of worship for a religion I didn't belong to. The symbols were familiar, the rituals recognisable, but the meaning escaped me. I always concluded the same thing: Oasis is so rooted in its Britishness that it struggles to stand alone outside that context, and unlike the Arctic Monkeys or other UK exports, the music itself isn't quite strong enough to overcome that cultural specificity. But if Oasis is a religion, then Friday night at Wembley was my spiritual awakening. It began with Liam and Noel Gallagher walking on stage hand-in-hand, a moment that sent the crowd into such a frenzy I genuinely thought I was witnessing a world-historical reconciliation – 'Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall, ' but with more bucket hats. Behind them, a montage of media headlines played, charting the road to their reunion. As I tried to read them, I noticed with genuine shock that the men around me – mostly in their forties – were openly weeping. I felt like an imposter. Like a lifelong, Buddhist receiving a blessing from the Pope: Was this moment wasted on me? Liam – bucket hat pulled so low he could've wandered through the crowd unnoticed – was relentlessly on-brand: tambourine in his mouth, mid-song gestures for someone to fetch him a drink, radiating pure cheeky swagger. But it wasn't the chaotic bravado that's landed him in trouble before. It felt authentic, playful, and even self-aware. His voice was strong, precise, and melodic. I'd never found him impressive on record, but in that moment, I got that this is how he's meant to be heard: backed by a tidal wave of fans scream-singing every word back at him like a battle cry. Astonishingly, all but three of the 23 songs played came from a blistering 18-month period between 1994 and 1995, making the evening a concentrated portrait of a hyper-specific period of time. Noel's solo section was unexpectedly moving. The Masterplan and Little by Little reminded everyone who the melodic architect really is, while Half the World Away, dedicated to The Royle Family ('not that royal family, the real f***ing Royle Family,' he clarified), lit up the stadium in a sea of swaying phone lights. Liam returned for Live Forever, dedicated to the late Ozzy Osbourne, whose face was projected on the screens in an unexpectedly touching acknowledgement of the shoulders Oasis stood on to reach such great heights. The crowd – who started at energy level 10 and ended somewhere around unhinged – was the friendliest I've ever encountered at a show. There was a jittery, reverent alertness to them, the energy of people who had spent too much money, waited too many months, and weren't going to miss a single second. In front of me, a group of forty-something men who proudly told me they'd known each other since secondary school in Leeds had reunited from all corners of the UK after fighting tooth and nail for tickets. They cried. They hugged. They threw beer. One of them, too drunk to stand still, barely faced the stage. Arms flung over his head, head tilted back, he grinned like a man reborn. It was as if to say: I don't need to see it, I just need to feel it. And he did. But did I? Oasis's music is inseparable from the moment it emerged: mid-'90s Britain, all swagger and denim and cigarettes in the rain. If you were a teenager then, I doubt you can see them objectively, and if you weren't there, I'm not sure you ever truly get it. I accept that. They captured a version of Britain when things felt possible: Cool Britannia, Blair before the disillusionment, Britpop dominating the charts, football in renaissance, and an economy that still promised upward mobility. They were Beatlesy, but stripped of the naivety. Less dreamy, more laddish. They felt like the natural continuation of something proudly, specifically British in a moment when globalization was eroding cultural edges. Still, most of their music sounds… fine to me. Competent. Catchy. But not great. Then again, I love plenty of music that sounds unremarkable to others. Nostalgia is a hell of a drug. And if I can't see past my own biases, I certainly can't fault anyone else for theirs. At one point, the man next to me noticed I was taking notes and asked what I was doing. When I explained I was reviewing the show, he appointed himself Oasis's unofficial spokesperson. 'This one's a B-side,' he said semi-defensively during Acquiesce, 'but it's for the real fans. It might be hard to understand… maybe even boring to you but…' I reassured him I was having an excellent time, which was true. But more than that, it felt borderline disrespectful not to have a great time while witnessing a night many people would remember as one of the best of their lives. So I gave in. I leaned into the energy. And before long, I was on the shoulders of a father of three from Newcastle – whose name was either Tom or Greg – scream-singing Rock 'n' Roll Star like I, too, was from Northumberland and had shared my first kiss to it in 1996. As I began to understand – physically, emotionally, viscerally – the big deal about this band, things only ramped up. Liam called Wonderwall a 'wretched song' but sang it anyway. The communal roar that followed felt like the ghosts of 90,000 people's youths materialising for four minutes and sixteen seconds. Tom or Greg cried without embarrassment, clinging to the neck of his lifelong friend ('This bloke right here, since we was ten!') who beamed so hard I thought his face might split. Then came Champagne Supernova, fireworks exploding over Wembley. More Trending Liam closed the night with: 'Nice one for making this happen. It's good to be f***ing back.' Somehow, in the context, it felt like a Shakespearan monologue. I left Wembley exhausted, elated, and – somehow – converted. Still, if you weren't a teenager in 1996, I'm not sure you can ever fully understand what Oasis means to their fans. They're too embedded in a specific moment, a particular British mythology that doesn't translate easily. But on Friday night, I brushed up against it and realised it's not that Oasis's deep entanglement with British culture holds them back from being one of the world's greatest rock bands – it's precisely what makes them so special.
