Following the wider reveal of adidas Originals by Wales Bonner’s Fall/Winter 2026 collection, the season’s footwear offering pushes the partnership’s familiar dialogue between sports heritage and luxury into increasingly tactile territory. Five pairs span four silhouettes, beginning with the WB Karintha “Dark Brown,” which covers its slender profile in glossy crocodile-stamped brown leather, sharpened by black Three Stripes and brushed gold-tone eyelets for an almost dress-shoe-like finish.
The WB Gazelle Snake “Green Night” applies the same reptilian texture to the indoor-football classic, pairing a deep jewel-toned green upper with crisp white Three Stripes, a gum sole and an unexpected flash of bright blue at the lining. Moving from football to running, the WB ADIZERO Adios Suede “Wonder White” softens the performance silhouette in creamy off-white suede, with custom, hand-finished Three Stripes bringing a more crafted character to its streamlined shape.
Completing the lineup is the debut of the WB BW Pony, which reworks the minimal military-derived silhouette through a combination of pony hair and contrasting lizard-stamped leather overlays. The “Black Pony” edition keeps the upper almost entirely black, allowing the changes in texture and sheen to do most of the work above a classic gum outsole, while “Khaki Pony” shifts into muted earthy tones and hides a rich burgundy lining inside.
