Continuing the signature visual language of the collaboration, Wales Bonner × adidas Spring/Summer 2026 collection merges football and running inspirations, expressing a refined balance of craftsmanship and performance.
Footwear highlights include: the WB Karintha, featuring a black leather upper with a cognac fold-over tongue, reinterpreting classic football silhouettes; the WB Gazelle Snake and Pony, crafted in embossed snake-effect leather and pony hair respectively, accented with signature three stripes; and the WB Adizero Adios, combining leather paneling with artisanal detailing to redefine performance running.
The collection concludes with a handwoven leather edition of the WB Karintha, handcrafted in Brazil and debuted on the SS26 runway. Apparel offerings include a pink twill track top, an off-white lightweight jacket, and brown Beckenbauer track pants, completing the seasonal look.
Wales Bonner is rooted in a distinctive vision of “cultural luxury,” blending European heritage with Afro-Atlantic cultural influences. Founded in 2014 by Grace Wales Bonner, the brand began with menswear and has since expanded into a full readyto-wear offering, grounded in extensive cultural research.
The brand has received major international recognition, including the LVMH Prize, and has collaborated with adidas Originals and Dior. Its work also extends into the art world, with exhibitions at Serpentine Galleries and Museum of Modern Art, continuing to expand the dialogue between fashion and culture.
