The adidas Originals x Wales Bonner Karintha Lo “Core Black” marks a bold departure for the duo—this isn’t just a rework of an archive model, but a brand-new silhouette designed with Bonner’s refined aesthetic in mind.
Dressed in a sleek “Core Black” base, the upper features dark brown suede accents on the Three Stripes and tongue, giving it depth and texture. What makes this version stand out is the shimmering construction: individually-stitched sequins across the upper filter under light, shifting between black, silver and hints of brown for a night-out energy. The sole unit stays clean and flat, borrowing from the adidas low-profile aesthetic—minimal cushioning, maximum presence. The heel tab is stamped subtly with “WB” initials, anchoring the collaboration.
As part of Bonner’s Fall/Winter 2025 collection, the Karintha is both statement and wearable: the silhouette’s soft lines and low-slung profile make it versatile, while the materials and finish signal luxury and design-intent.
