Adidas Originals and Wales Bonner present their latest collaborative collection for Spring Summer 2026, combining sport, tradition and expression through a unified design approach. The collection builds on their ongoing collaboration, with an emphasis on football as a frame of cultural reference and performance.

Liberation unfolds through two linked narratives. One explores football through lifestyle pieces that draw from its cultural presence, while the other focuses on performance elements shaped by activity on the field. This dual structure allows the collection to present different interpretations of the same sport, linking visual identity with function.
The on-pitch offer comes ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup and features a new version of the adidas football Predator boot. The Wales Bonner features a snake print upper paired with dark brown detailing, along with a cognac leather tongue. The mirrored silver stripes are a nod to an earlier Wales Bonner Samba design.
Adidas combines the Predator boot with additional pieces that stretch the same material direction. A paneled football features the snake print motif, while a full kit introduces toning white plume and three-stripe detailing. A floral graphic adds contrast to the ensemble, bringing variation to the otherwise focused palette.
The campaign, photographed by Harley Weirframes the collection in an interior environment that reflects Wales Bonner’s visual approach.

The setting and composition emphasize texture, surface and the relationship between garment and space.
Alongside the campaign, Deo Suveera and Pamela Dmitrov continue the series of still lifes for the collaboration. Their work focuses on the qualities of the materials in each silhouette, drawing attention to construction, finish and detail. This approach reinforces the collection’s emphasis on surface and construction, expanding its visual presentation beyond worn images.
The adidas by Wales Bonner Spring Summer 2026 collection is available worldwide via adidas.com, the Confirmed platform and select retailers.
