First Look at Wales Bonner’s New Croc-Covered Adidas Collaborations

After working on an unexpected running shoe released in September, English fashion designer Graces Wales Bonner is back with a diverse lineup of Adidas sneakers for fall 2024.

This time around, the designer’s eponymous Wales Bonner brand applies its fashion flair in the form of croc-textured materials. The latest range features familiar models including two Adidas Samba colorways, two Adidas Samba MN (Millennium) styles and a first for the collaboration, the Adidas Superstar. Four of the five upcoming sneakers are pictured here in official product images.

For its first Adidas Superstar collaboration, Wales Bonner covered nearly the entire upper in croc texture in an off-white shade dubbed “Wonder White” by Adidas. The model’s signature rubber toe cap remains unchanged. At the heel, Wales Bonner’s signature stitching is added, and the brand’s name appears in metallic gold on the lateral side of the right shoe. Navy blue Three Stripes branding is also given a glossy finish.

On the two Sambas, Wales Bonner forgoes its usual floppy folded tongue design for a basketweave-like woven look. One pair comes in brown croc with white accents, while the other is offered in navy blue croc with a burgundy liner. Both pairs use traditional gum rubber outsoles.

Rounding out the Wales Bonner x Adidas fall ’24 group are two versions of the Samba MN: one in metallic and another in suede, the former of which is pictured here. Keeping with the croc theme, the back portion of the Samba MN is colored in brown croc while the more modernized front section is coated in metallic silver. 

Despite the arrival of official images, release details for this latest Wales Bonner x Adidas collection have not been announced. Pricing has not been confirmed, but it’s said to be higher than recent Wales Bonner x Adidas collaborations, perhaps due to the addition of more premium materials.
