Bad Bunny x adidas Badbo 1.1 “Blanch Blue”: what we know and why you can skip resale

Bad Bunny's next adidas shoe, the Badbo 1.1 “Blanch Blue”, still has no release date. The last few Badbo drops tell you something more useful than a date, though: you probably won't need a raffle win or a reseller for this one. The 1.1 “Chalk White” launched on 26 September at €120, and six weeks later it is still in stock at around ten European shops, some of them below retail. Here's what we know about the blue pair, and how to buy it at retail with cashback on top.

At a glance

• Model: adidas Badbo 1.1 “Blanch Blue”, style code LB9014
• Release: Holiday 2026, most likely December, no confirmed date (Sneaker News, Sneaker Bar Detroit)
• Price: $120 in the US. Earlier Badbo 1.1 pairs cost £100 at adidas UK
• Where: adidas CONFIRMED app and select retailers
• Raffle or first come, first served: not announced

What the Blanch Blue looks like

It's the low-top 1.1 shape: a lower collar, mesh side windows instead of the leather on the 1.0, and a suede T-toe. On this pair, pale blue suede overlays sit on a lighter blue mesh base that shows through triangular cut-outs on both sides. The tongue and midsole are white, the lining and tongue piping light grey, and the sole is gum.

If the palette looks familiar, it should. It echoes the Badbo 1.0 “Puerto Rican Night” in Chalk White, Night Navy and Light Blue, which dropped on 26 September at $160. Blanch Blue is the third 1.1 colourway after Chalk White and Simple Brown.

Why you can skip the resale market

The Badbo hasn't been an instant sell-out in Europe. On 9 November, Sneakerjagers showed the 1.1 Chalk White at about ten shops: most at the €120 retail price, Offspring at £100 and HHV in Germany at €107.95. The 1.0 “Puerto Rican Night” is down to €127.95, 20% under its €160 retail, and the 1.0 “Rise” sits at €96, 40% off.

Resellers still ask for more. Polish resale shop N-Hype lists the Chalk White 1.1 at 760 to 920 zł depending on size while regular shops sell the same pair for €120.

So the plan is simple. On release day, try the CONFIRMED app and the shops below at retail. If you miss your size, wait a few weeks before paying anyone a premium. Blue colourways can move faster than white ones, but nothing in the Badbo's track record so far justifies resale prices.

The next test: Simple Brown on 12 November

Before Blanch Blue, there's the Badbo 1.1 “Simple Brown” (LM5057), scheduled for 12 November according to Sole Retriever and Sneakerjagers. It's listed for £100 at adidas UK and BSTN. Watch how fast it goes: if your size is still around a day later, December will probably be calm too.

Where to buy with cashback

This is a watch list. These shops carried earlier Badbo 1.1 pairs, but none has confirmed Blanch Blue stock yet (rates from 9 November 2026):

Store	Cashback	Watch out for
adidas UK	3%	buy on the website, app orders aren't tracked
BSTN	3%	1.5% on hot releases, 0% on raffle orders
Offspring	1.5%	sold the Chalk White at £100

At £100, 3% is £3 back. Not life-changing, but it's free money on a pair you'd buy anyway. Activate cashback before you go to the shop, check out in the same browser tab, and don't use codes that aren't listed on Soleback.

What to do now

Turn on notifications in the CONFIRMED app so you see the Blanch Blue page when it goes live. Check your size on the Simple Brown on 12 November, since it's the same 1.1 last. And if you already own the Puerto Rican Night 1.0, Blanch Blue is the low-top take on the same colour story, at $40 less in the US.
