Wales Bonner has fostered a deep relationship with youthful fashion crowds, cementing itself under athletic spotlights with an extensive adidas partnership. The British designer has released countless sneakers since 2020, igniting the return of the adidas Samba with oversized tongue flaps.

Following her sold-out Fall/Winter 2023 range, images have leaked of an unreleased “Python” pair that is sure to draw attention. The limited-edition sample was sourced from Romania and is likely a one-of-one pair featuring realistic snakeskin uppers that mimic shedding animal coats. The design boasts textured embossing in brown, tan, and black hues, while tonal Three Stripes branding is concealed across the exterior profiles and tinted on the inside.

Bonner’s trademark enlarged tongues take center stage with collaborative badges, while cream laces, bronze eyelets, and green satin liners complete the sneaker with brown rubber soles units.

Take a closer look at the unreleased Wales Bonner x adidas Samba “Python” sample in the gallery above.
