From Stage to Home Plate: Kiké Hernández Steps Out in Bad Bunny x adidas BadBo 1.0 Cleats in "Mint Green"

Los Angeles Dodgers infielder Kiké Hernández hit the field in the new "Mint Green" colorway, bringing Bad Bunny's signature cleat back into the batter's box — and this time, the outsole is actually built to grip.

From Stage to Home Plate: Kiké Hernández Steps Out in Bad Bunny x adidas BadBo 1.0 Cleats in "Mint Green"

A shoe that once lived exclusively on the streets and backstage at concerts, now crammed onto a cleated outsole and standing in the batter's box next to home plate — that's exactly what makes the BadBo 1.0 Cleat series so interesting. The latest sighting comes from Los Angeles Dodgers player Kiké Hernández, who took the field in the new "Mint Green" colorway, pushing Bad Bunny and adidas's footwear collaboration one step further into baseball territory.

This "Mint Green" iteration keeps the original lifestyle silhouette's core structure intact: the white perforated leather upper, suede panel overlays, layered construction, and all the paneling lines and branding details that define the BadBo 1.0. The difference lies in the color placement — the lavender-mint green only appears on the toe box, like a subtle pop of color added to what was once a low-key casual sneaker, rather than covering the entire shoe. It feels less like a full recolor and more like a variant tailored specifically for the diamond.

The real transformation happens at the outsole. The standard lifestyle sole has been swapped out for a cleat plate purpose-built for baseball — and this is where the word "Cleat" really carries weight. The upper's design language can be carried over as-is, but running, pushing off, and stealing bases on dirt and grass demands an entirely reworked base.

"Mint Green" isn't the series' first appearance on the field. Previously, Bad Bunny had the "Blue/White" colorway of the BadBo 1.0 Cleat worn by Puerto Rico's national team during international competition. By comparison, this new lavender-mint colorway doesn't carry the same clear-cut narrative weight of national colors — it reads more like an extension of the lineup simply exploring what other colors the cleat can wear, adding to a growing rotation of colorways rather than telling a fresh story each time.

No official release date or pricing has been announced yet for the "Mint Green" BadBo 1.0 Cleat.
