British designer Grace Wales Bonner is continuing to grow her relationship with adidas, having released collaborative footwear for several seasons and showing no signs of slowing down. The LVMH Prize winner has proved herself as one of England’s brightest talents, exploring European heritage with Afro-Atlantic backgrounds.

Under her eponymous label, Wales Bonner, the designer has shown great success while partnering with adidas on the classic Samba, Country, SL72 running shoe, and more. Bonner will collaborate with the Three Stripes for the sixth time this season, previewing an early look at her next creation.

Using a similar design from Fall/Winter 2023, Wales Bonner prepares the adidas Samba with a premium white leather base and beige suede mudguard accents. Additionally, the sneaker boasts pastel yellow Three Stripes at the medials, while exposed stitching lines the heel tabs atop debossed Wales Bonner branding. Oversized tongue flaps receive co-branded badges in contrasting brown, completing the unit with black rubber bottoms.

Take a first look at the next Wales Bonner x adidas Samba colorway above.
