Wales Bonner x adidas Sequin-Covered Karintha Sneaker Rumored to Drop This Spring

by

This summer at Wales Bonner’s SS25 runway exhibition, the newly introduced Wales Bonner x adidas Karintha Sequin has garnered less attention compared to other releases. Recent images of the product offer a closer look at its eye-catching details, revealing a vibrant sequin upper that reflects deep tones of black and brown.

In essence, the latest design echoes footwear trends from the Y2K era, featuring slim and streamlined soles, as well as simplified upper structures inspired by classic Adidas shapes. The pictures illustrate the multiple colors that emerge from the sequins, ranging from black, silver, brown, or gold. The upper adornments are contrasted by a matte brown fabric, which is used for the minimal stripes, heel tab, and tongue. The soles display a modern, warped grid pattern etched into them, with only the trefoil emblem breaking the pattern.

Over the past few years, Wales Bonner’s innovative footwear designs have significantly advanced the realm of menswear fashion, making traditionally feminine elements such as embroidered details, animal prints, shiny materials, fur textures, and Mary Jane-style shapes more mainstream. Previous models like the Wales Bonner Samba “Silver Metallic” and “Pony Leopard,” for example, have given a fresh twist to adidas’ traditional football shoe designs with daring design decisions. The Jewel Sneakers by Wales Bonner, which are a blend of Mary Jane and sneaker styles, have taken this innovation even further, featuring metallic silver with golden snake print and white leather in their design.

For the first time this year, Wales Bonner presented a women’s collection for the Fall-Winter 25 season. This line, characterized by elegant leather dresses and tailored outerwear, also incorporated unisex styles that were previously showcased in its Fall-Winter 24 mens campaign. However, the more androgynous direction of Wales Bonner was subtly suggested earlier through their men’s campaign for Fall-Winter 25. The collection displayed delicate elements such as jewel-toned knitwear and a fabric resembling lace on a white top and matching shorts. Additionally, pink tones were present in an old-school “Infinite Soul” athletic t-shirt and served as an accent in the Jewel Mary Jane “Gold.

Based on information from Sneaker Market, industry insiders have hinted that the brand will debut the model in European markets around late April or early May. At this moment, a specific release date for the Wales Bonner x adidas Karintha Sequin has not been disclosed officially. Keep an eye on TopMob for further announcements regarding the product’s official launch.
