Wales Bonner x Adidas

Every collab doesn't excite me and certainly the ones that I call "period pieces" (because most of the retro looks I've actually, personally lived through) can be completely off target in my opinion but not this one. The adidas x Wales Bonner team has done a stellar job of bringing back the 80's in the most adorable way.

The color combinations are perfect for the time and well...the slouchy tube socks almost instantly teleported me back to 1982. The short shorts, track jackets and retro styling speak to a seemingly less complicated time in fashion when the ease of dressing still felt polished in a chic, laid back sort of way, yet deliberate.

But my fav...because I always find more than a few...is the shoe. Sambas are dope. Period. Always have been. Always will be. So yeah, this modernized version has certainly found its way to the top of many summer must-haves lists.

The 80's are back and it simply doesn't get any more laid back luxe than this.
