The men's style uses a textured, molded surface to create a carved, etched look instead of a plain, smooth finish. The BadBo Stone Slide is expected in June 2027, landing next summer in [blue and yellow debut colorways](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blue-force). U.S. pairs are slated for adidas' app, and the release is priced at $70. Both colors keep the [sculpted texture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vibram-x-staple-stratx-slides) front and center. The format gives the Bad Bunny line a comfort-led option alongside its shoe catalog. At $70, the slide makes the collaboration a more accessible seasonal buy within adidas' lineup. App-only U.S. availability keeps the release centered on adidas' direct channel while the partnership expands from signature shoes into [slip-on footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/textured-heritage-sneaker-silhouettes).
