adidas Originals and Wales Bonner have returned this week for Fall Winter 2024 with a collection that merges streetwear and the roots of Hip Hop culture. Known for her distinctive fusion of Caribbean heritage, British subcultures, and global African influences, Wales Bonner's latest cult collab with the sportswear juggernauts is poised to be another sell-out. This season, her collaboration with the iconic Three Stripes brand presents a fresh take on retro style, channeling vibrant energy and nostalgic proportions.

Captured by photographer Renell Medrano, the adidas x Wales Bonner FW24 campaign is set against the rich backdrop of New York’s Harlem, featuring skaters Carlisle Aikens and Kader Sylla. It highlights the poetry and rhythm of city streets, offering a visual homage to the birthplace of Hip Hop.

 

What's in the adidas x Wales Bonner FW24 collection?

The footwear range stands out with the reintroduction of the legendary adidas Originals Superstar, reimagined with patent leather and a crocodile-embossed finish. Complementing this is the Samba, which arrives in two distinct iterations. The Wales Bonner Samba features crocodile-printed leather in rich toffee and deep indigo shades, accented by cream basket-weave details. Meanwhile, the Samba Millenium offers a bold evolution with smooth leather and crocodile-textured heels, showcasing Wales Bonner’s elevated design language.

The apparel offering follows suit, evoking the bold spirit of the 1970s with tracksuits, floral vests, and matching shorts that nod to Hip Hop’s origins. Saturated hues of tangerine orange and turquoise blue bring a fresh twist to classic silhouettes, while enlarged adidas logos on graphic tees and hoodies make a statement. Departing from the current "quiet luxury" trend, this collection embraces exuberance and street-inspired flair.

 

When will the collection be released?

The adidas Originals x Wales Bonner Fall Winter 2024 collection will be available globally on Thursday 24 October 2024 at the adidas website, via the CONFIRMED app, and through select retailers.
