ADIDAS X WALES BONNER — REGISTER NOW
8 June 2023adidas and Wales Bonner continue their longstanding partnership, merging Caribbean heritage with sporting codes.
Since their first partnership in 2020, adidas and Wales Bonner have established themselves as a collaborative tour de force, continuously capturing the zeitgeist with their elevated takes on three stripes icons. Each collection represents a collision of sporting codes and Grace Wales Bonner’s Caribbean heritage, with the latest being no exception.
The latest from the two represents a further fusion of their established design codes, reworking sneaker icons and classic sportswear through Wales Bonner’s intricate and detail-heavy lens. The footwear sees both the SL72 and the Samba brought under the spotlight, with unique detailing typical of the coveted designer.
The Samba retains nods to its sporting heritage with the iconic fold-over tongue intact, with two colourways offering contrasting looks: one, a striking silver rendition with Wales Bonner’s typical crochet-style three stripes, the other a more muted brown, beige and yellow iteration. The SL72, meanwhile, which arrives in both brown and green, takes on an equally detail-oriented approach, with woven mesh uppers and Wales Bonner’s signature stitched detailing. The apparel takes on a similar approach, too, merging classic sporting heritage with Wales Bonner’s signature tailoring.
