Adidas has a fashion following unlike any other sportswear brand. Trainers from the label are just as ubiquitous on the front row of fashion week as Gucci or Loewe, while the gazelle and samba styles are beloved by everyone from Bella Hadid to Harry Styles.
The brand has gone from a running shoe maker to a street-style powerhouse. From its Cool Britannia moment in the Nineties to recent collaborations with the likes of Stella McCartney and Khaite, Adidas’s vintage aesthetic has never faded from fashion.
But it’s the brand’s longtime collaboration with Wales Bonner that’s proved most covetable. Grace Wales Bonner’s eponymous label is known for her seamless blending of sportswear and tailoring, so her collections for Adidas are a match made in fashion heaven.
From structured tracksuits to crochet vests and croc-embossed crossbody bags, the new drop for winter 2024 continues the theme of elevated athleisure. The trainers are always the star of the show, with the latest collection favouring streamlined silhouettes and contrasting textures.
The ever-popular sambas have been reimagined with croc-effect overlays, suede and knitted detailing while the chunky superstar trainers from your school days have been reconceptualised for wearing in 2024.
The sports brand’s repeated collaborations with Wales Bonner are notorious for selling out in mere days. The full collection is available via the Adidas Confirmed app for members while trainers and bags can be purchased from Net-a-Porter – here’s everything we’re shopping from Adidas x Wales Bonner winter 2024.
