Wales Bonner and adidas Unveils New FW23 Collaborative Sneakers

London fashion designer Wales Bonner and adidas have revealed new sneakers designs that are a part of their collaborative Fall/Winter 2023 collection. The collection features the popular Samba and SL72 sneakers that were featured in their Spring/Summer 2022 and Fall/Winter 2020 collections.

The sneakers contain distinct designs in both colorway and detailing, but the overall presentation remains similar. The standout item in the collection is the gunmetal tone sneakers featured in the Samba sneaker model. It comprises a DNA-like lace pattern over the three-stripe design at the lateral side. The sneaker contains the word "Wales Bonner" on the lateral heel counter. There is also exposed stitching on the heel tab and tongue flap. The other sneaker is the SL72 model, featured in vermillion/chocolate and green/orange colorways. The collection will be available later in the year.
