Grace Wales Bonner, founder of London-based menswear label Wales Bonner, has become one of the most promising newcomers in the world of fashion. As a follow up to their Spring/Summer 2022 collection, the London-born fashion designer will be reuniting with adidas once again for an upcoming Wales Bonner x Adidas FW23 footwear collection.

This season sees Bonner returning to the classic adidas Samba and SL72 running shoe silhouettes the were both featured in the FW20 and SS22 drops. The Samba is crafted in full Lenkkitossut covered in a reflective gunmetal finish with decorative-stitched Three Stripes branding on the sides and heel badge. Its oversized tongues nods to the retro soccer boots while sitting atop an Earthy Brown rubber sole.

The SL72 Knit will be available in two color options. They both feature a knitted upper with suede overlays and premium Lenkkitossut tongues, heels, and inner lining for an extra premium touch. One is dressed in Green with Yellow contrasting accents, while the other comes in a Brown with Burnt Orange accents. All three pairs come with Wales Bonner branding on the lateral heel, insoles, and co-branding packaging.

Check out the photos below, and look for the Wales Bonner x adidas Samba and SL72 Knit styles to release on June 9th at select adidas Originals retailers and adidas.com. The retail price tag is set at $200 USD.
