adidas Originals by Wales Bonner Launches Spring/Summer 2026

adidas Originals and Wales Bonner return to present their latest collaborative collection, a celebration of sport, tradition and expression in a harmonious coalescence of aesthetic codes.

Cohesive in design, yet distinct in approach, the collection centers on two interconnected stories: football as a cultural narrative told through lifestyle pieces and irreverent expression on pitch as told through performance pieces.

The Lifestyle Collection

Building on the visual language established through the collaborative partnership, the adidas Originals by Spring/Summer 2026 footwear selection is an exercise in elegance and refinement. The signature WB Karintha receives a colour and material treatment, linking the silhouette to one of the earliest shoes in the adidas Football archive with its black leather upper and cognac coloured leather toe overlay. This treatment is then continued with the WB Gazelle Snake, a silhouette with origins in indoor football, and features a faux snake leather upper with cognac details throughout. The WB Gazelle Pony, meanwhile, features a pony hair upper with black leather details and contrasting stripes. From football to running, the WB Adizero Adios brings together performance heritage and tailoring craft shades of brown leather and suede overlays are combined with signature stitched details on the heel and a hand-woven leather tongue. The footwear is completed by a woven leather update to the WB Karintha, hand crafted in Brazil and first presented on the runway at the Wales Bonner Spring/Summer 2026 show.

The lifestyle footwear collection is complemented by three apparel pieces: two tops – one track tops in a pink colorway with an interlocked twill construction, the other a track jacket in an off-white colorway with a lightweight crinkle ripstop construction – and a brown Beckenbauer track pant.
