adidas x Wales Bonner

Wales Bonner

Anglo-Jamaican designer Grace Wales Bonner proposes a new interpretation of cultural luxury where European heritage blends with the Afro-Atlantic spirit. Her brand, created in 2014 shortly after graduating from the prestigious Central Saint Martins, has placed her designs as an integral part of new British creation. Wales Bonner is known for her ability to explore and celebrate cultural identity through her work, weaving narratives that reflect the African diaspora and its influence on contemporary fashion.

Bonner's work is not limited to the fashion world; it also includes artistic and academic projects that seek to expand the understanding of cultural connections. Her approach to fashion goes beyond aesthetics, using clothing as a means to explore personal and collective stories.

Wales Bonner x adidas Originals

The collaboration between Wales Bonner and adidas Originals began in 2020, offering a unique interpretation of the social movements and music of Caribbean communities in the United Kingdom during the 1970s. This project has allowed Bonner to explore and reinterpret cultural elements through the design of footwear and clothing. Since then, her collaborations with the German brand have traversed different cultures, including stories related to Kenya, Burkina Faso, and Jamaica.

The reinterpretations of adidas archive classics, such as the Samba or SL 72, have become contemporary classics, acclaimed for their ability to fuse history and modernity. Bonner uses materials and techniques that reflect the rich cultural diversity that inspires her collections, always maintaining an authentic connection to the roots of each narrative.
