adidas Originals and Wales Bonner Launch Autumn/Winter 2021 Collaborative Collection

adidas Originals and Wales Bonner return once again to present their latest collaborative endeavor. Forming an integral part of the designer’s Autumn/Winter 2021 collection, entitled “Black Sunlight”, the apparel, footwear, and accessories on offer follow on from the themes developed in Spring/Summer 2021 with “Essence” and Autumn/Winter 2020 with “Lovers Rock”. 

Concluding the trilogy of collections, Black Sunlight illuminates a world of Caribbean Thought and Black British intellectualism, reflecting on the scholars, poets and artists from the Caribbean, India, and West Africa whose work and writings advanced postcolonial discourse in the UK and across the globe.

Where the previous two collections saw Wales Bonner reimagine the aesthetics and stylistic tendencies of the 70s, for Autumn/Winter 2021 the designer turns her attention to the diasporic radical thinkers of the 80s. Here, the apparel and accessories offering features iconic adidas pieces refreshed through Wales Bonner’s inimitable lens – implementing popular 80s inspired cut lines and silhouettes on items including t-shirts, pants, trackpants, a tracksuit, an anorak, and a sunhat. Inspired by scholarly iconography, select pieces are then elevated with collegiate graphics, representing academic and spiritual growth.

Photographs by Tyler Mitchell. The adidas Originals by Wales Bonner Autumn/Winter 2021 collaborative apparel and accessories is available at adidas.com, on Confirmed, and through select retailers. Footwear will launch beginning of 2022 (on Confirmed and through selected retailers).
