In May 2024, English fashion designer Grace Wales Bonner’s collaboration with adidas continues to evolve with the release of a vibrant new collection, prominently featuring two fresh iterations of the iconic Samba silhouette. This latest installment, infused with athletic influences, expands upon their previous successful collaborations, promising a blend of high fashion and sportswear aesthetics.

The latest Samba iteration keeps its essence as an indoor soccer staple. It undergoes a sophisticated transformation, incorporating premium nappa leather. A contemporary twist adds quilted forefeet for luxury, with accents of tan tumbled leather or blue pony hair on the heels. Grounded on a gum sole unit for traction, it seamlessly combines modern style with utilitarian functionality. While not for intense futsal matches, these sneakers symbolize fashion and purpose in the collaboration.

The Wales Bonner x adidas Samba “Nappa Pack” debuts on May 21st, 2024. It’s available at selected adidas Originals retailers, in-store and online at adidas.com, priced at $250 USD. Alongside the shoes, the release includes an SL72 model and diverse collaborative apparel options.

In conclusion, the collaboration between Grace Wales Bonner and adidas continues to push boundaries. With a fusion of fashion and function, the new collection offers a fresh take on iconic designs, appealing to both fashion enthusiasts and athletes alike.
