adidas Samba Nylon Wales Bonner Desert White

Released in May 2024, the adidas Samba Nylon Wales Bonner Desert White is a distinguished collaboration with British designer Grace Wales Bonner, fusing sports heritage and refined craftsmanship. The sneaker features a soft nylon upper in desert white complemented by leather and suede overlays in ash blue and sandy beige tones, creating a harmonious neutral palette with textured depth.

Signature details include Wales Bonner’s extended fold-over tongue with co-branded insignia, a plush leather sockliner in vibrant ash blue, and a rubber gum sole that pays homage to Samba’s terrace roots while offering reliable grip and comfort. Designed for both men and women, the model blends contemporary aesthetics with historical resonance, ideal for collectors appreciative of thoughtful design narratives.

The sneaker balances minimalism and detail, providing durable comfort through cushioned insoles and breathable textile linings, making it quintessential for everyday urban wear with a cultured edge.

To ensure the longevity of your sneakers, we recommend a considered approach to their care. Regular maintenance is key to preserving their aesthetic integrity and material quality.

• General Care: For leather and synthetic uppers, gently wipe away dirt with a soft, damp cloth and a mild cleaning solution. Laces can be hand-washed separately. Allow the sneakers to air-dry naturally, away from direct heat or sunlight, to maintain the structure and quality of the materials.

• Suede & Nubuck: These delicate materials require specific attention. Use a dedicated suede brush to gently remove surface dirt, always brushing in the same direction. For stubborn marks, a specialist suede eraser is recommended. Avoid water, as it can stain and alter the texture. To protect against the elements, a light application of a waterproofing spray designed for suede can be beneficial.
