adidas Originals and Wales Bonner introduce their latest collaborative collection for Fall/Winter 2026 – revisiting the designer’s own archive to celebrate the legacy and evolution of the partnership.
Reimagining signature silhouettes through a new lens, each piece continues the dialogue between fashion and sport as rich jewel tones meet elevated materials; refined tailoring meets sportswear.
A further evolution of the aesthetic codes that have come to define the adidas Originals by Wales Bonner line, the Fall/Winter 2026 footwear selection continues to romantically reimagine the archive. The signature WB Karintha is elevated through a distinct material treatment – offering a sartorial look with a dark brown stamped crocodile leather upper and gold brushed eyelets. This treatment continues with the WB Gazelle Snake, which sees the indoor football silhouette rendered in a green crocodile stamped leather. The WB ADIZERO Adios Suede, meanwhile, draws on one of adidas’ most iconic running silhouettes, recontextualising it for a lifestyle context with a fully suede upper and craft-inspired custom Three Stripes details. The footwear is completed by the first iterations of the WB BW Pony – the minimal adidas silhouette given an expressive materiality through pony hair uppers and contrasting stamped lizard print leather overlays.
At the center of the elevated apparel collection is a premium leather blouson in a signature Wales Bonner bark color, detailed with crochet side stripes and tonal embossed branding. Alongside leather footwear and ready to wear is a wardrobe celebrating the long exchange between sport and style, spanning a double-knit jersey tracksuit, a pinstripe track top and matching shorts, a collared football top and matching trouser, stirrup detailed track pants, a knit long-sleeve, and double logo t-shirts.
The accessories include a neoprene bag with crocodile leather inspired paneling, a lanyard, and two pairs of socks.
Building on the collaborative partnership’s exploration of identity and community, the Fall/Winter 2026 collection is brought to life by a campaign photographed by Harley Weir. The campaign takes its inspiration from the attitude of 1980s London, as a moment of convergence when myriad cultural influences crashed together, creating a new fashion stance out of shifting ideas and youthful expression.
The Fall/Winter 2026 adidas by Wales Bonner collection is available globally at adidas.co.za, via the adidas app, and through select retailers.
