Wales Bonner’s Fancy adidas Sneaker Is a Rich Little Number
Wales Bonner and adidas have spent the better part of their partnership finding new ways to make sportswear feel a little more sophisticated. Their collaborations have given us everything from covetable track tops to some seriously good-looking sneakers, all with that particular knack for making familiar silhouettes feel fresh again. And just when you think you've seen every possible take on the Three Stripes, they come up with something like this.
The Wales Bonner Karintha Croc is a particularly handsome example.
Dressed in rich brown croc-effect leather, they bring a more refined sensibility to the familiar slim sneaker, with a profile that feels refreshingly grown-up. The gold detailing adds just enough flash without turning the whole thing into a spectacle.
What makes them especially appealing is how little they need to do to stand out. There's no oversized sole, complicated construction, or particularly loud branding competing for attention. Just a really good-looking shoe with a touch of personality.
They're also a welcome change for anyone whose sneaker rotation has become a little too predictable. They have the rare ability to make an outfit look considerably more considered without demanding much in return.
Further proof that adidas can clean up rather nicely.
