Adidas × Wales Bonner
Grace Wales Bonner's SS26 capsule reads the World Cup year through the Afro-Atlantic diaspora her label has always traced, splitting the drop between football (a Predator FG boot, Gazelle terrace pairs) and distance running (Adizero Adios). The Gazelle Snake leads as the maximalist hero — a snakeskin base with browned leather overlays and the two-tone laces that recur across the capsule.
adidas press materials frame SS26 as a return ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, continuing what the brand calls Grace Wales Bonner's exploration of sport and luxury through a more elevated, globally-minded lens.
