Wales Bonner and Adidas Drop Croc-Effect Karintha Sneaker

Grace Wales Bonner and adidas have collaborated to release the Karintha Croc sneaker, part of their Fall/Winter 2026 collection. The partnership is known for adding a sophisticated twist to sportswear, and this new release continues that trend.

The Karintha Croc features a rich brown croc-effect leather finish, giving the slim sneaker a refined and grown-up profile, according to Highsnobiety. The design includes contrasting black leather accents, decorative stitching, and a navy collar trim. Gold detailing, including an adidas Trefoil logo at the heel, adds a touch of flash without being overly loud.

This low-profile sneaker is crafted from glossy croc-embossed leather, with signature black leather Three Stripes and a black lace-up closure with metal eyelets. It also has a black leather tongue and heel tab, a textile lining, and a tonal rubber outsole. The collection, which also includes other footwear styles like the Adizero Adios “Wonder White” and Gazelle Croc “Green Night,” draws inspiration from 1980s London music and youth culture, with a campaign photographed by Harley Weir.
