Adidas Originals and Wales Bonner SS21

From Jamaica With Love

This new Adidas Originals and Wales Bonner SS21 collaboration explore the British Jamaican community in London in the seventies to the early eighties origination of dancehall music in Jamaica.

Spring/Summer 2021 sees Wales Bonner infuse several iconic Adidas looks with rich references. Throughout the collection, a heightened focus is placed on tailoring as the designer evokes a British morning dress, romanticized with magical, found buttons. The apparel offering features reimagined 70s era pieces including shorts, t-shirts, and tracksuits that have been elevated with vintage cut lines, rich ribs, mesh, and check prints.

The collection also hosts quintessential updates to the Adidas Samba and Nizza silhouettes. Chosen for its rich footballing heritage, the WB Samba sneaker is composed of a full leather upper with a suede toe cap and heel tab as well contrast topstitching details, satin lining, leather stripes, co-branded details throughout, and supplementary crochet laces. The classic silhouette is then made up in two striking colorways: Core Black/Prime Green and Collegiate Navy/Cream White/Mono yellow. Meanwhile, the WB Nizza Lo boasts a canvas upper with thick topstitching details and enamel eyelets, as well as a vulcanized outsole. The carefully crafted sneaker is then capped off with co-branded details throughout and is available in three colorways: Core White/Bold Pink/Mist Sun, Night Indigo/Mono Yellow/ Cream White, and Unity Purple/Glaze/Cream white.
