Grace Wales Bonner and adidas have pulled back the curtain on their full Fall/Winter 2026 collection, and it's a rich one. Think croc-stamped leather, pony hair, deep jewel tones and a leather blouson that might just be the piece of the season.
A few of the sneakers had already surfaced earlier this month, but now we've got the full picture: footwear, apparel and a campaign shot by Harley Weir. Even better, there's a date too, with everything landing on 29 October.
A Closer Look at the Wales Bonner x adidas FW26 Collection…
This time round, Grace Wales Bonner went digging through her own archive. According to adidas, the collection is a celebration of how the partnership has grown over the past six years, pairing tailoring with sportswear and premium materials with rich, deep colours.
On the footwear front, the WB Karintha is the one that looks ready for a night out. It comes in dark brown croc-stamped leather with black stripes and brushed gold eyelets, giving it an almost formal feel. Style code: KK0733.
The Gazelle gets the same reptile treatment. Officially dubbed the WB Gazelle Snake, the indoor football silhouette arrives in green croc-stamped leather, finished with white Three Stripes, a gum sole and a bright blue lining (KK0735).
Then there's the curveball. The Adizero Adios Suede takes one of adidas' best-known running shoes and gives it a lifestyle makeover, swapping performance materials for a full off-white suede upper and hand-finished Three Stripes (KK0774). It even borrows the Gazelle's blue lining.
The real newcomer, though, is the WB BW Pony. The stripped-back silhouette, a nod to the BW Army that started life as a training shoe for the German army, gets a pony hair upper with contrasting lizard-stamped leather overlays. It comes in two flavours: an all-black pair on a gum sole (KK2813) and a khaki version with a burgundy lining (KK2809).
The Blouson Steals the Show
The sneakers aren't the only highlight. Front and centre on the apparel side is a leather blouson in Wales Bonner's signature bark colour, finished with crochet side stripes and tonal embossed branding.
Around it, you'll find a wardrobe that plays with the crossover between the terraces and the tailor. There's a double-knit jersey tracksuit, a pinstripe track top with matching shorts, a collared football top with matching trousers, track pants with stirrup details, a knitted long-sleeve and double-logo tees.
Accessories round things off, with a neoprene bag featuring croc-inspired panels, a lanyard and two pairs of socks.
Shot Through a 1980s London Lens
Photographer Harley Weir shot the campaign, which takes its cues from 1980s London. As adidas tells it, this was a moment when countless cultural influences collided and young people forged a new style from the mix.
It's familiar territory for Wales Bonner. Identity and community have been at the heart of the partnership since it kicked off in 2020, and they're front and centre once again here.
