Adidas Originals and Grace Wales Bonner launched the SS26 “Jewel” collection on April 17, 2026, through adidas.com, the Confirmed app, and select global stockists. The drop is the latest chapter in a partnership that has run since 2020, now entering its sixth year with a collection that ties directly to Wales Bonner’s mainline “Jewel” SS26 theme, marking a decade of the label.

Jewel Collection

The SS26 adidas Originals by Wales Bonner collection, titled Jewel, draws on the idea of soulful clothing as an inherited treasure, channeling a sense of joyful irreverence through premium materials and considered construction. 

Grace Wales Bonner said, “I want to capture a feeling of being transported — each piece should feel like it has a history, like it has traveled and gathered meaning.” 

The collection was introduced at Paris Fashion Week in June 2025 as a preview, combining a lotus flower motif across shirting and outerwear with Wales Bonner’s Superfine style ethos.

The Footwear

The SS26 footwear lineup is the most expansive the collaboration has produced, spanning six confirmed silhouettes. The WB Karintha returns in two versions: a woven basketry construction (Style Code HP3710) and a loosely woven mesh upper (Style Code KK4981), both dropping April 17. 

The Adizero Adios (KI6054) appears as a running derived style elevated through Wales Bonner’s material language, while the Gazelle Indoor receives a new seasonal treatment. A rare Wales Bonner x adidas Y 3 joint sneaker, featuring straight lines from eyelets to toe and a mixed media construction, is among the most closely watched additions. Completing the lineup is the Wales Bonner x adidas Predator Elite (JR4430), a premium leather and snakeskin football boot. Retail pricing was not confirmed at the time of publication.

Apparel and Accessories

The apparel component draws on the mainline Jewel collection, applying adidas sportswear forms to Wales Bonner’s soulful aesthetic through fine gauge cotton and merino polo shirts, utility silhouettes, and lightweight outerwear. The lotus flower motif floats across shirting and summer outerwear, with tonal colorways in bark, ivory, and jewel tones throughout the range.
