English fashion designer Grace Wales Bonner’s series of co-branded footwear with Adidas has rapidly become one of the most sought-after partnerships in the realm of footwear collaborations with fashion labels. This May, the collaboration grows with the introduction of a new Wales Bonner x Adidas Samba and SL 72 series for Spring 2024, part of a broader, athletically inspired collection.
The upcoming Samba Nappa model stays true to its roots as an indoor soccer trainer but is reimagined through a high-fashion lens, featuring a premium nappa leather construction. The design includes quilted forefeet for a butter-soft touch, complemented by premium tan tumbled leather/blue pony hair at the heels. The ensemble is completed with an ultra-grippy gum sole unit, balancing fashion-forward aesthetics with functional design. Though unlikely to see much action on the futsal courts, these shoes are a testament to the functional artistry of the Wales Bonner and Adidas partnership.
Alongside the standout Samba, the collection will also feature additional colorways of the iconic Samba in a more familair Wales Bonner build, two iterations of the SL 72 sneaker in Blue and Yellow, and an array of apparel, including bucket hats, bags, jackets, pants, and vests. Each piece in the collection promises to carry the distinct aesthetic that fans have come to expect from Wales Bonner’s collaboration with Adidas.
Mark your calendars for May 21st, as this collection will be released on adidas.com globally.
