Germany’s Adidas Originals x Wales Bonner unveil FW25 collection
A study in presence and character, this season, athletic codes are retold through elegant tailoring as Wales Bonner reconceptualizes adidas’ signature DNA. From blousons and jackets to tracksuits and jerseys, each apparel piece is both considered and expressive. Turning to accessories, and drawing on adidas’ timeless codes, a duo of leather bowling bags take center stage – transforming historical sporting aesthetics into sculptural forms.
Adidas Originals and Wales Bonner’s Fall/Winter 2025 collection blends sporting heritage with cultural craftsmanship through refined tailoring and expressive design.
The line features elegant apparel, sculptural leather bags, and reimagined classics like the WB Karintha Lo in satin.
The campaign, shot by Chris Rhodes, captures authentic, individual character and creative spirit.
Continuing to advance the collaboration’s established design language, the instantly iconic WB Karintha Lo returns for its third iteration in satin further stretching the possibilities of what an adidas shoe can be and do. Essential in suede, exquisite in sequin, and now shining in satin, the journey of the Karintha continues to unfold.
The Fall/Winter 2025 footwear support cast also plays host to a number of reimagined Trefoil classics – including the WB Japan presented in a lavender tone. A leftfield choice, until you consider that the calming soft purple hue has historically been associated with serenity and purity. The WB Superstar grounds the collaboration back into iconic sports heritage through a crafted perspective, while the WB Adilette is elevated by a considered human touch.
A study in presence and character, the collection is accompanied by a campaign shot by Chris Rhodes and starring an eclectic ensemble of characters. Championing a new wave of counter-cultural energy, the portraits deftly weave together personal narratives from Gene Gallagher, Alva Claire, Shim Mheuka, and Bebe Parnell. Authentic, raw, and undeniably individual, every image brings new meaning into each piece in the collection.

According to updated Eurosystem staff projections, headline inflation is expected to average 2.1 per cent in 2025, easing to 1.9 per cent in 2026 and 1.8 per cent in 2027, before returning to 2.0 per cent in 2028. Inflation excluding energy and food is forecast at 2.4 per cent in 2025, gradually declining to 2.0 per cent by 2028. Inflation for 2026 has been revised upward, mainly due to expectations that services inflation will fall more slowly than previously anticipated, the Governing Council of the ECB said in a press release.
European Central Bank has kept its key interest rates unchanged, maintaining confidence that inflation will stabilise at the 2 per cent target.
Updated projections show inflation easing gradually over the coming years, with a slight upward revision for 2026 due to persistent services prices.
Economic growth forecasts have been revised higher, supported by stronger domestic demand.
The ECB also revised its economic growth outlook higher compared with its September projections. Growth is now expected to reach 1.4 per cent in 2025, 1.2 per cent in 2026 and 1.4 per cent in 2027, with expansion projected to remain at 1.4 per cent in 2028. The improvement is driven largely by stronger domestic demand across the euro area.
The Council reiterated its commitment to ensuring that inflation stabilises sustainably at the 2 per cent target. It emphasised that future monetary policy decisions will remain data-dependent and assessed on a meeting-by-meeting basis, without pre-committing to any specific interest rate path.
