adidas Originals x Wales Bonner

 

adidas Originals and Wales Bonner return for Fall/Winter 2025 with a collection that blurs the lines between sport, heritage, and high fashion. The latest drop continues Grace Wales Bonner’s exploration of cultural identity and craft, blending adidas’ iconic sporting DNA with her signature sense of elegance and storytelling.

This season is all about presence and character. Classic athletic codes are reimagined through a refined lens, with tailored blousons, track tops with attitude, and sculptural accessories that nod to vintage sport aesthetics. Even the bags get a moment, with a duo of leather bowling styles that feel equal parts retro and elevated.

On-foot, the collection pushes things further. The now-iconic WB Karintha Lo returns for its third act in satin, continuing its evolution from cult sneaker to statement piece. Alongside it, a reworked line-up of Trefoil classics steps into view. The WB Japan arrives in a calming lavender tone inspired by serenity and purity, the WB Superstar grounds the collaboration in heritage, and the WB Adilette proves that even slides can carry a sense of craft.

Shot by Chris Rhodes, the campaign captures a new wave of countercultural energy featuring Gene Gallagher, Alva Claire, Shim Mheuka, and Bebe Parnell. It feels raw, authentic, and loaded with the individualism that defines both adidas Originals and Wales Bonner.

The adidas Originals by Wales Bonner Fall/Winter 2025 collection drops globally on 31st October via adidas.com, Confirmed, and select retailers.
