Grace Wales Bonner, the owner of Wales Bonner fashion label, connects with adidas Originals once again for the Caribbean-inspired Spring/Summer 2023 collection.
Venturing across a considered suite of reference points, the central focus switches to the Caribbean as the British designer adroitly explores the Trefoil’s lasting presence within Jamaican culture.

The Wales Bonner x adidas SS23 unisex collection reimagines vintage silhouettes through elevated material compositions and refreshing color palettes. Pieces include a matching light teal nylon tracksuit, signature tracksuit in an elevated knit construction, striking silver anorak with matching shorts, and the introduction of a Jamaican icon in the form of a Harrington jacket and flared trouser set. Other highlights include a toweling top and shorts set, knitted geometric pattern roll neck, knitted sweater vest, neutral sweater sweatpant set, and two vibrant short-sleeve cotton t-shirts.
Footwear-wise, we have the retro adidas runner WB SL72 with knitted upper which arrives in two distinct colorways which pay homage to Jamaican culture.
Even though the Sambas are part of this SS23 collection, UNFORTUNATELY, THEY ARE NOT RELEASING LOCALLY!

The collection is releasing on Friday, 09 June 2023 via shelflife.co.za (ONLINE ONLY) at 10am.
