adidas x Wales Bonner SL72 Chocolate

Wales Bonner and adidas team up for a fourth consecutive collection, with more eyes tuned to this drop than ever before. With Bonner's eye for quality silhouettes, her detailed storytelling is a perfect match for adidas' archival footwear. Forming together a mixture of European culture and African heritage, this special Wales Bonner x adidas SL72 "Chocolate" will certainly be on the feet of your favourite fashion heads this year.

The adidas SL72 is no ordinary shoe; steeped in history, this '70s sporting icon was the first to debut the iconic trefoil logo that's now recognised worldwide. The brand first launched the shoe as a casual sneaker for the 1972 Munich Olympic Games, designed to be worn as podium shoe for the athletes. Since then, the silhouette saw has seen a number of retros and new collaborative colourways. This pair boasts a traditional brown knit pattern, with matching suede panelling wrapping around the bottom half of the upper. Orange saw-toothed 3-Stripes are carefully threaded on in a clay orange, similar to the other "Green" edition. Bonner's wordmark is quietly embossed onto the heel in a light beige, with further branding on the tongue and sockliner. A cream white rubber outsole completes the story on this fresh SL72 rendition, giving the shoe a balance between its light and darker shades.

If you consider yourself a bit of a footwear connoisseur, then perhaps give the adidas Wales Bonner SL72 a bit of shine in your rotation instead of the more obvious Samba editions.
