Wales Bonner x adidas

This years must have collab sees one of the UK’s brightest design talents with a global sportswear brand as Wales Bonner designs a new collection for adidas. 

Fresh for winter 2020, the capsule brings together literary and musical references that are close to Bonner’s heart and explores 1970s subculture from the perspective of Caribbean youth in London. The result is a reimagining of adidas’ heritage for a collection that is bang on trend and full of pieces that you will want to wear straight away and again and again.

Inspired by the designer’s own Jamaican heritage, the collection features a number of beautifully crafted apparel pieces. Of course there is the classic adidas tracksuit with new details like crochet stripes and oversized ribbing. It is the footwear that is the real highlight of the range as far as we are concerned. Bonner offers her take on the SL72 and the Samba sneaker, with corduroy, velvet and leather and bold colours of orange, green and cream.
