Wales Bonner and Y-3 have officially unveiled their highly anticipated collaborative collection, bringing together two of adidas’ most influential creative partners in a unique fusion of fashion, sport, and cultural storytelling.

First revealed during Wales Bonner’s Spring/Summer 2026 presentation in Paris, the capsule collection represents the latest chapter in the British designer’s ongoing partnership with adidas. Drawing inspiration from both London and Tokyo, the collection reinterprets the Y-3 archive through Wales Bonner’s signature lens of craftsmanship, research, and preservation.

Captured by acclaimed Japanese photographer Takashi Homma, the campaign embraces an intimate and understated aesthetic. The imagery celebrates the appreciation of art, craft, and collecting within Japanese culture through the stories of three distinct personalities: maker Kazunori Hamana, collector Terry Ellis, and listener Rintaro Sekizuka. Together, they embody the value of objects that gain meaning through time, care, and experience.

At the heart of the footwear offering is the Y-3 FIELD, a silhouette originally introduced in 2003 that pays homage to adidas’ football heritage. Wales Bonner’s interpretation features a luxurious dark brown upper, a fold-over leather tongue with signature stitching, and a striped lining that elevates the classic design.

The apparel collection combines the sporting identities of both luxury labels. Menswear highlights include a satin jacket featuring tonal embroidered leopard-print artwork, a matching graphic jersey T-shirt, a bronze track jacket with contrasting shiny stripes, tapered track pants, ripstop three-quarter-length shorts, and a knitted sweater.

For womenswear, the collection offers a refined black track jacket with white cuffs alongside a knitted tank top. Accessories continue the blend of sport and luxury with standout pieces such as a lizard-print leather bowling bag finished with silver hardware. The range is completed by over-the-knee football-inspired socks and a knitted visor beanie available in two colourways.

The Wales Bonner and Y-3 collection is available globally from 13 May through adidas South Africa and adidas Sandton City stores, with prices ranging from R2,199 to R5,999.

Blending heritage, craftsmanship, and contemporary sportswear design, the collection offers a compelling dialogue between two creative worlds while celebrating adidas’ enduring influence on fashion and culture.
