This collection a follow-up to their first collab, which was previewed at Bonner’s fall 2020 show at London Fashion Week. The pair’s spring ’21 “Essence” collection was inspired by the early 1980s era of reggae when dancehall music became a staple in Jamaica. This isn’t the first time Bonner has referenced her Jamaican heritage in her collaboration with Adidas. Styled by Tom Guinness, the campaign mixes traditional portraiture with dreamlike documentary imagery, highlighting the intersection of place and cultural identity. The duo’s latest collection is brought to life this season in a new campaign captured by photography and directorial duo Jalan and Jibril Durimel. In addition, the WB SL72 Knit sees the British designer recontextualize the retro Adidas runner with a knitted upper, and arrives in two distinct colorways which pay homage to Jamaican culture.
