Wales Bonner x adidas SS26 Collection
Release Date: April 17th, 2026
Wales Bonner x adidas Originals SS26 Collection
Grace Wales Bonner and adidas return with the collection that their partnership has been building toward season by season — a Spring/Summer 2026 offering titled "Morning Raga" that bridges the aesthetic logic of architecture and the soulful fluidity of spiritual jazz, delivered through the most materially ambitious and culturally layered range the collaboration has yet produced. Six seasons in, Wales Bonner and adidas have developed a creative vocabulary so specific and so consistent that each new collection reads as the next sentence in a conversation that has been running since 2020. SS26 is that conversation at its most eloquent.
The collection is anchored by the Karintha Basketry — a handcrafted silhouette produced in Brazil that retails at $600, its open-weave leather upper constructed using techniques that belong to the craft tradition as much as to footwear manufacturing, an airy woven construction built for summer heat and for the collector who understands that an object made by hand at this level is not a product but a commission. It arrives alongside standard Karintha iterations in black and sail — classic leather with brown toe caps, blue interiors, rope laces, and the gold Wales Bonner logo sitting above the white stripes in the position that says everything about the hierarchy of the collaboration without needing to announce it. The Gazelle Indoor appears in two of the season's most tactile executions — a brown leather pair with snakeskin base that achieves the effortless balance between luxury and sport that only Wales Bonner seems to find consistently, and a dark pony hair version with off-white stripes, rope laces, and subtle croc texturing on the tongue and backtab that makes the Gazelle feel like a garment as much as a shoe. The Adizero Adios completes the footwear range, a performance running silhouette reimagined through the collection's tonal brown palette — mesh upper caged in leather stripes and suede accents, contrast stitching tying the athletic heritage to the fashion vision above it.
The apparel range — co-branded floral jerseys, retro track jackets in pink and white, a brown Beckenbauer track pant, accessories and a soccer ball — carries the collection's dual commitment to football heritage and high fashion with the same considered construction that Wales Bonner has brought to every season of this partnership. Available April 17 through adidas.com, Confirmed, and select retailers. The conversation continues. It has never been more worth following.
