Wales Bonner’s latest collection with adidas Originals is a celebration of sport, tradition, and expression in a harmonious coalescence of aesthetic codes.
The collection, which arrives ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, centers on two interconnected stories: football as a cultural narrative, told through lifestyle pieces, and irreverent expression on the pitch, told through performance pieces.
Building on the visual language established through their collaborative partnership, the footwear selection is an exercise in elegance and refinement.The signature WB Karintha returns with new color and material treatment. This collection links the silhouette to one of the earliest shoes in the adidas Football archive with its black leather upper and cognac coloured leather toe overlay.
This pattern is then continued with the WB Gazelle Snake, a silhouette with origins in indoor football, and features a faux snake leather upper with cognac details throughout. The WB Gazelle Pony, meanwhile, revisits a now classic Wales Bonner x adidas look- dressing the sneaker in a pony hair upper with black leather details and contrasting stripes.
From football to running, the WB Adizero Adios brings together performance heritage and tailoring craft through shades of brown leather and suede overlays. The sneaker is tied together by the signature stitched details on the heel and a hand-woven leather tongue that has become synonymous with Wales Bonner collaborations. The footwear is completed by a woven leather update to the WB Karintha, handcrafted in Brazil and first presented on the runway at the Wales Bonner Spring/Summer 2026 show.
The footwear collection is complemented by three apparel pieces: a track top in a pink colorway with an interlocked twill construction, a track jacket in an off-white colorway with a lightweight crinkle ripstop construction, and a pair of brown Beckenbauer track pants.
The Spring/Summer 2026 adidas by Wales Bonner collection is available globally on 17th April at adidas.com, via Confirmed, and through select retailers.

Update: April 17th, 2026
Wales Bonner is getting into the World Cup spirit.
Presented in anticipation of FIFA World Cup 2026, the on-pitch collection is highlighted by Wales Bonner’s distinct take on the latest iteration of adidas football’s iconic Predator boot.
Aligning with the designer’s Spring/Summer 2026 collection, the Wales Bonner Predator features a snake print upper with dark brown details, a cognac coloured leather tongue, and silver stripes in a mirrored finish that nods back to a previous iteration of the Wales Bonner Samba.
The Wales Bonner Predator is accompanied by a snake print panelled football and a full kit featuring a tonal white crest and Three Stripes details, as well as a colorful floral graphic.
The collection is available now via adidas.
