adidas Originals and Wales Bonner have reunited to present their latest collaboration, another collection deeply connected to the beautiful game.
Forming an integral part of the South London designer’s enitre Autumn/Winter 2021 collection, entitled “Black Sunlight”, the apparel, footwear, and accessories follow on from the themes developed in Spring/Summer 2021 with “Essence” and Autumn/Winter 2020 with “Lovers Rock”.

The A/W 2021 range concludes a trilogy of collections between the pair, illuminating a world of Caribbean Thought and Black British intellectualism. "Black Sunlight" pays homage to 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.
The range features apparel and accessories which reinterpret iconic adidas pieces through the designer's revered and refined style, with 80's-inspired cuts and patterns running on t-shirts, pants, trackpants, a tracksuit, an anorak and a sunhat.
Featuring plenty of throwback, football-inspired cuts and a beautifully-shot lookbook captured by Tyler Mitchell, the adidas Originals x Wales Bonner "Black Sunlight" collection is available to cop from 16 November via adidas.com – get a closer look at some selects from the collection below.
