Description
Released in June 2023, the adidas Samba Wales Bonner Silver merges the classic Samba silhouette with futuristic and artisanal design elements, reflecting the unique vision of British-Jamaican designer Grace Wales Bonner. The upper is crafted from reflective silver patent leather that catches the light dynamically, accented with cream white laces and heel tab, and subtle grey suede and knit details that add textured interplay.
The iconic crocheted Three Stripes on the side panel combine heritage craft with modern innovation, while the oversized fold-over tongue features dual Wales Bonner and adidas branding that epitomizes this special collaboration. A durable gum rubber outsole completes the look, delivering the classic Samba functionality with contemporary style.
This striking sneaker balances audacious style with wearable comfort, designed with a cushioned insole and supportive collar, making it a coveted artifact for collectors and fashion enthusiasts alike.
Care and Maintenance
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.
