September 16, 2024

One of adidas' most thriving collaborations is with British designer Wales Bonner. This dynamic partnership commenced in 2020 and has since produced numerous sought-after collections that reimagine elevated sportswear themes. Their adidas Samba sneakers, in particular, have consistently sold out and are highly coveted worldwide.

Now, after offering a sneak peek of four upcoming color variations, adidas and Wales Bonner present a comprehensive look at their eagerly anticipated Fall/Winter 2023 lineup. In this collection, the designer delves into adidas' extensive archive, reviving vintage aesthetics for contemporary audiences. With a focus on neutral color palettes, Wales Bonner explores the athletic fashion of the 1970s and 90s.

The apparel collection introduces velour tracksuits in brown, grey, and cream, adorned with contrasting Three Stripes branding and Wales Bonner lettering. Essential tees and utility bottoms follow, while skintight undergarments feature eye-catching graphic rhinestones. Asymmetrical knitwear receives a vibrant touch with green linings, alongside preppy versions sporting two-toned collars.

On the footwear front, adidas and Wales Bonner continue to push the envelope with fresh Samba designs. The designer's signature oversized tongues make a statement, crafted from tinted leather and adorned with co-branded badges. These distinctive sneakers are offered in leopard, burgundy, black, and cream colorways, boasting long-haired uppers for a captivating textural contrast atop traditional rubber sole units.

Explore the complete adidas and Wales Bonner Fall/Winter 2023 collection in the gallery below. It's set to be available starting November 8 through adidas and select retailers.
