Wales Bonner and Adidas Are Still Cooking With Gas


The rest of the collection features some more familiar faces, including the Gazelle, Adizero Adios, and Wales Bonner’s signature Karintha silhouette. The latter comes in croc-stamped leather with gold-brushed eyelets, which calls to mind the designer’s beautiful navy blue Sambas from a couple years back. On the techy Adizero Adios, Wales Bonner paired an off-white suede construction with exaggerated stitching and a royal blue interior. Rounding out the group is the Gazelle in a similar colorway to the Karintha: croc-printed leather with an off-white tongue and heel tab, plus a gum sole and a royal blue lining.

Alongside the shoes, Wales Bonner cooked up some of the sleekest Adidas apparel we’ve seen this year. There’s a blue jumper inspired by football kits, long a staple of the collaboration, plus a boldly striped sweater in tones of auburn, brown, and red. The designer’s takes on Adidas tracksuits remain as flawless as ever, with this collection adding a navy blue pinstriped short version to the canon. The true highlight of the clothes offering, however, is a leather zip-up blouson in a rich dark brown with Adidas stripes down the arms.

The fashion world is waiting with bated breath to see what Wales Bonner delivers at Hermès, with all the resources of a historic maison at her disposal. For now, though, we’re just stoked that the new gig doesn’t seem to have abated her deep love for true-blue sportswear one bit.

The Wales Bonner x Adidas Originals fall-winter 2026 collection is available now via CONFIRMED and select retailers.
