adidas Originals sneakers in 2026 aren't coming from one design studio, they're coming from a rotating cast of collaborators, each pulling the brand's archive in a completely different direction. Song for the Mute is deconstructing Tokyo runners, AVAVAV is turning the Megaride into something closer to sculpture, and Grace Wales Bonner is reworking football heritage through a luxury lens. This edit rounds up the standout pairs currently on HBX, from an in-house redesign of the Superstar to four collaborations pushing the label into stranger, more experimental territory.
adidas Originals Superstar SQ
The Superstar SQ takes adidas' most recognizable silhouette and rebuilds it in premium black leather with sharper, more geometric proportions.
adidas Originals X SFTM 007 Tokyo
Song for the Mute's partnership with adidas Originals is now several chapters deep, and the label has settled into a clear identity: reworking heritage silhouettes through what BSTN's own coverage calls "quiet rebellion" rather than spectacle. The adidas Originals X SFTM 007 Tokyo continues that approach, mixing frayed canvas, heavy rope laces, and dark distressing into something closer to wearable art than a standard retro runner. It's part of an ongoing story SFTM has described as centered on lived experience
adidas Originals X AVAVAV Megaride
AVAVAV's adidas Originals partnership has spent several seasons pushing the Megaride into increasingly strange territory, and this latest version strips back some of that inflation into a rawer, more aggressive shape, hollowed-out soles, mismatched proportions, and striking two-tone colorways in Core Black/Shadow Olive and Core Black/Power Red. Creative director Beate Karlsson has described the broader adidas Originals X AVAVAV collaboration as "for everyone else," a deliberate contrast to the brand's usual athletic seriousness. It's less about performance and more about turning a running shoe into a statement piece.
adidas Originals X Wales Bonner Karintha OG/Lo Satin
Grace Wales Bonner's take on the Karintha reworks adidas Originals' football heritage through a distinctly luxury lens, refined stitching, rich leather, and a low-profile build that reads more tailored than athletic. HBX carries four colorways of the OG and Lo Satin, from a classic black-and-white leather build to a crochet-striped satin version in cobalt blue. The broader adidas Originals X Wales Bonner collection this season leans on football as a unifying idea, treated less as a sport and more as a cultural identity worth dressing around.
Tonal codes: SFTM, Y-3, CLOT, and Wales Bonner in earth tones
Beyond the headline collaborations, four pairs pull from adidas Originals' partnerships with Song for the Mute, Y-3, CLOT, and Wales Bonner and land in a shared palette of rich mocha and auburn tones, proof that even across four completely different design languages, warm neutrals keep showing up as the connective thread. It's a smaller, quieter selection compared to the rest of this edit, but it makes a real case for tonal dressing as its own kind of statement.
