In celebration of National Puerto Rican Day Parade, and the new Puerto Rico Nike zapatillas de running ASICS constitución ligera voladoras talla 45 pack, we wanted to go back and revisit the best Puerto Rican-themed sneakers of all time. Some you may be familiar with and some you didn’t even know existed.

Converse had an easy layup creating a Puerto Rico shoe as the flag fit perfectly on the silhouette of the canvas. Converse released two iterations of the flag shoe.
Diadora
Details Matter x Diadora N9002 “The Traveler” (2023)
Diadora collaborated with the Puerto Rican lifestyle brand, “Details Matter”, on an N9002 which pulls its inspiration from the terrain and elements found in Puerto Rico.
The nubuck material that represents the forest and the tan-colored logo outline is influenced by the beautiful sand that surrounds the island. The various tones of gray that adorn the shoe are a nod to the historic cobblestone streets in Old San Juan.
Ewing Athletics
Big Pun x Ewing 33 Hi “Puerto Rico”
Arguably the greatest Knick of all time and arguably the best Puerto Rican lyricist of all time with Big Pun, this is peak NYC right here.
Although not the first time Big Pun estate and Ewing Athletics collab, this edition commemorates his Boricua heritage.
