Grace Wales Bonner and adidas have enjoyed a successful partnership, bringing more eyes to Wales Bonner’s inline work and fueling the hype around adidas models like the Samba. As part of the duo’s latest collection, which features apparel and sneakers, they’re tackling multiple adidas Sambas, the Samba Millennium, and an adidas Superstar.
The two adidas Samba colorways and the lone adidas Superstar feature similar construction. Each has faux croc skin leather covering most of the main panels on the upper. One Samba comes in a deep navy blue accented by cream and brown hues, while another comes in a natural brown leather hue. On the Superstar, the shell toe remains with its usual rubber build, but the sneaker's base features a cream faux croc skin. Three Stripes contrast in an obsidian shade. The Superstar also features golden Wales Bonner text on the lateral midfoot and gold adidas logos on the tongue and heel. Finalizing the design of the Samba are the woven tongues in a cream hue with golden co-branded details.
Moving to the Samba Millenniums, each pair takes on a split design, with the front half coming in tumbled leather and the rear taking on faux croc skin details. One pair split yellow and navy blue hues, while the second comes with chrome on the front and brown/cream on the back. Extra stitching details run along the edge of the heel tab and the lining of the tongue, while golden logos for Wales Bonner and adidas hit the tongue and heel. Underfoot sits the Samba Millennium midsole in white and gum.
The Wales Bonner x adidas Fall/Winter 2024 Collection will release on October 24, 2024, through Wales Bonner, adidas Confirmed, and select retailers online and in-store. In men's sizing, the Superstar retails for $280, the Samba Millennium for $250, and the Samba for $300.
