adidas Originals and Wales Bonner Are Back Together Again for FW26
Revisiting their own archive for the new season.
Our favorite collaborators are back, as adidas Originals and Wales Bonner continue their celebrated cross-cultural dialogue for Fall/Winter 2026. This season, the designer revisits her own collaborative archive, weaving rich jewel tones, refined tailoring and athletic heritage into an elevated wardrobe that honors the longevity of their partnership.
Leading the charge is a lavish footwear lineup that reinterprets iconic silhouettes through unexpected materials. The signature WB Karintha receives a sartorial upgrade in dark brown croc-stamped leather with brushed gold hardware, while the WB Gazelle Snake embraces a vivid green crocodile treatment.
adidas’ archival running lineage gets reframed with the all-suede WB ADIZERO Adios, accented with craft-focused custom Three Stripes details. Rounding out the kicks, the minimal WB BW Pony arrives wrapped in pony hair and contrasted by lizard print overlays.
The apparel selection centers on a supple leather blouson in Wales Bonner’s signature bark hue, finished with handcrafted crochet stripes. Nostalgic sporting silhouettes receive bespoke touches across double-knit jersey tracksuits, pinstriped track sets, collared football jerseys and stirrup track pants. Neoprene bags embossed with crocodile panels and sleek branded lanyards pull the Wales Bonner x adidas vision together.
Shot by acclaimed photographer Harley Weir, the campaign draws its energy from 1980s London, inspired by the pivotal era of youth culture where shifting subcultures and street styles collided.
The adidas Originals by Wales Bonner FW26 collection drops globally on October 29 and will be available on the adidas website and select retailers.
