The Next Wales Bonner x Adidas Collab Has DroppedAdidas

In the campaigns for her eponymous brand’s partnership with Adidas, Grace Wales Bonner has taken us to the training grounds of Kenya’s greatest runners, as well as the crystal-clear seas of Jamaica’s coast. And for autumn/winter ’24, the duo are transporting us to Harlem, New York.

Amongst the cast of characters captured by the Bronx-born photographer Rennell Medrano are professional skaters Carlisle Aikens and Kader Sylla, pictured showing off the neighbourhood with a strong seventies influence.

Fitting, really, as the British-Caribbean designer and the Three Stripes looked to the foundations of hip-hop – which derives from seventies Harlem, FYI – as the inspiration behind the collection.

Expect signatures like tracksuits, hoodies and track jackets in satsuma, chocolate and turquoise hues, finished with enlarged Adidas branding. A fleece-lined, padded parka offers protection from the city’s notoriously chilly winters, while floral knitted vests and shorts puncture the collection with vintage flair.

In the shoe department – one that continually sells out season after season – there’s a selection of five to silhouettes choose from. The Samba has been reinterpreted once again in ‘Collegiate Navy’ and ‘Night Brown’, two styles with croc-embossed uppers and woven tongues that sit upon gum soles in line with the original design.

Continuing from last season’s drop, the 2009 Samba Millennium returns in the same split upper as Bonner’s previous take. The ‘Silver Metallic’ features a (you guessed it) silver front-half while its heel has the same croc finish as the ‘Night Brown’ style. The other colourway, ‘St Fade Gold’, follows the same design: a blue croc-embossed rear meets a canary yellow toe.

The pièce de résistance? The 32-year-old’s first(!) take on the Originals Superstar. It’s upper is also croc-embossed (sensing a theme?) but in a subtle ‘Wonder White’ with navy stripes.
