Wales Bonner x adidas Karintha "Brown Sequins" JR0259

The adidas Karintha “Brown Sequins” from Wales Bonner lands with a look that plays between light and shadow. Wrapped in shimmering sequins, this version makes a clear visual statement, catching light in motion while staying surprisingly understated indoors. It’s a design that shifts depending on the setting—sometimes bold, sometimes barely there.

Wales Bonner continues to reference adidas’ archival DNA through subtle cues. Satin-finished 3-Stripes cut through the sequin layer, introducing a clean contrast that plays with texture. The sculpted sole unit, which takes inspiration from older silhouettes like the Adiracer and adidas Tokyo, grounds the look in heritage while adding a flowing, modern edge.

Despite the decorative upper, the shoe doesn’t feel heavy or overbuilt. It carries the loose, easy-going shape seen across the Karintha line, with a flat, low-profile stance and a relaxed collar that bends and bunches naturally with movement.

This pair sits comfortably between statement and simplicity. Wales Bonner doesn’t just cover a trainer in sequins for effect—she builds on adidas history with thoughtful revisions and materials that change how the shoe feels in hand and on foot. The result is a Karintha that wears differently depending on the light, the setting, and the mood.
