Puerto Rican rapper [Bad Bunny](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gazelle-indoor-2) works in collaboration with Bad Bunny on a new Blue Tint iteration of the [Forum](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oneonone-coaching) Low Buckle sneaker model for the season. The new look sees a blend of a [blue tint](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/university-blue-1), light blue, and clear blue throughout the entire silhouette.

It is made from both leather and suede for a premium feel as there are heavy-duty black metal buckles that keep the nylon straps together. Additional details include the drawstring chord found by the heel and the removable double-stacked tongue tab that is accented with Bad Bunny's logo. Rounding out the new Blue Tint sneaker is the bold foam piece that can be seen at the collar and the icy blue rubber outsole.
