Launched in 2020, Adidas x Wales Bonner is a widely acclaimed partnership between the German sportswear giant and British-Jamaican designer Grace Wales Bonner. The collaboration is celebrated for seamlessly blending Adidas’s archival athletic codes with Wales Bonner’s soulful, research-driven exploration of Afro-Atlantic culture and post-colonial identity. Drawing heavily on the style of 1970s and 80s British-Jamaican communities, the collections elevate familiar sportswear staples—such as the Samba and SL72 sneakers—with artisanal touches like crochet stitching, satin linings, and pony hair details.
