Design language rooted in culture and expression
The adidas Originals x Willy Chavarria collaboration evolves with confidence for Spring/Summer 2026. This season leans into emotional storytelling, where design becomes a reflection of lived experience. Chavarria’s signature oversized proportions return, yet they feel sharper and more deliberate. As a result, each piece carries weight, both visually and culturally. adidas Originals’ DNA anchors the collection, while Chavarria pushes it forward with unapologetic honesty.
Statement apparel with intentional volume
Apparel leads the SS26 offering through strong silhouettes and rich material choices. Heavy cotton fleece, satin overlays, and padded constructions create contrast and depth. Standout pieces include the Chavarria Mockneck, defined by stacked embroidered Trefoils and a bold collar print, and the Chavarria Chicano Sweatshirt, which channels personal heritage through embroidered lettering and symbolic graphics. Elsewhere, the Halfzip, Satin Bomber, and Leather Bomber elevate athletic staples into expressive uniforms. The Zip-Off Pant adds functionality, while reinforcing Chavarria’s layered, oversized aesthetic.
Footwear blending heritage and rebellion
Footwear plays a crucial role in translating the collaboration’s ethos. The Chavarria Forum Boot, offered in mid and low versions, reworks the classic Forum with premium leather, protective detailing, and a traction-focused outsole. Meanwhile, the Chavarria Forum sneaker delivers understated luxury through rose branding, gold foil insignia, and refined finishes. Completing the lineup, the Chavarria Jabbar Low returns in four colorways. Gold-foiled “KAREEM” and “WILLY” callouts celebrate legacy and authorship, while the folded tongue reinforces the connection between sport and culture.
A campaign centered on identity and pride
The SS26 campaign deepens the narrative behind adidas Originals x Willy Chavarria. Shot at a Boys and Girls Club in Mexico City, it features an all-Latino cast and crew. Movement, dance, and self-expression take center stage, highlighting pride and community. As Willy Chavarria states, “This is about the beautiful tension between where we come from and where we’re destined to go.” That tension defines the collection, balancing grit with dignity.
