Grace Wales Bonner launched her eponymous label in 2014, following her graduation from Central Saint Martins and established as a menswear brand idealizing soulful tailoring while proposing a distinct notion of luxury via a hybrid of European and Afro-Atlantic approaches. Wales Bonner embraces and highlights diverse perspectives in her work, shifting our own outlook in the process. In this collaboration with adidas, the fashion visionary takes inspiration from 1970s subcultures and Caribbean youth in London at the time. The SL72 shoes capture the era with a satin and velvet brocade upper and antique leather overlays. The eye-catching look rides on a translucent rubber outsole.
