adidas Originals and Willy Chavarria unveil the Spring/Summer 2026 collection, a bold continuation of their ongoing collaboration that blends expressive design with cultural authenticity. Infused with Chavarria’s signature sensibility and adidas Originals’ DNA, the SS26 collection delivers a powerful statement through standout silhouettes in both apparel and footwear.
Oversized proportions, rich material mixes, and intentional detailing define the apparel collection, which speaks with visual impact and emotional weight. Key pieces include:
- The Chavarria Mockneck, crafted from heavy cotton fleece and featuring stacked embroidered Trefoils and a high-density print of Chavarria’s name on the collar.
- The Chavarria Chicano Sweatshirt reflects Willy Chavarria’s personal cultural perspective, with embroidered “CHICANO” lettering and a puff-printed eagle emblem on the chest, finished with a woven Trefoil and Mexican flag applique on the back.
- The Chavarria Halfzip blends cotton fleece and satin overlays with striking rose embroidery.
- The Chavarria Satin Bomber delivers a fully padded, oversized silhouette in satin twill, complete with metal zippers and logo pullers.
- The limited-edition Chavarria Leather Bomber jacket elevates athletic wear with applied 3-Stripes and contrast piping throughout.
- The Chavarria Zip-Off Pant, offering layered textures, convertible functionality, and oversized fits that reflect Chavarria’s distinct visual language of being intentional, unfiltered, and powerful.
Each SS26 footwear style is designed with intentional detailing and elevated materials, reflecting the partnership’s shared ethos of refinement and rebellion, resulting in footwear that carries both heritage and new energy:
- The Chavarria Forum Boot in mid and low versions channel utilitarian sophistication through a sculpted silhouette and elevated construction. The style features a premium leather upper based on Forum and tooling based on archival adidas, along with a high-traction outsole to navigate the road ahead and protective toe and heel cap for durability and resilience.
- The Chavarria Forum blends modern minimalism with subtle luxury with its premium leather upper and branded rose Willy Chavarria tongue, along with Chavarria aglet laces. A gold foil printed Willy Chavarria insignia on the side and Chavarria deboss and tonal print strap serve as emblems of identity and collaboration.
- Chavarria Jabbar Low, a tribute to cultural icons and timeless design, returns in four colorways that merge athletic lineage with Chavarria’s distinctive aesthetic. The silhouette features a premium leather upper, gold-foiled “KAREEM” and “WILLY” callouts on the right and left shoes, and a molded leather sockliner. The signature folded tongue features the Kareem Abdul-Jabbar logo on the front and Willy Chavarria branding on the back.
“This is about the beautiful tension between where we come from and where we’re destined to go. It blends grit with a refined athletic elegance, mixed with toughness and dignity. A uniform for anyone who had to earn their place in the world.” – Willy Chavarria
This season’s campaign is a tribute to identity, pride, and cultural resonance, anchored in an all-Latino cast and crew, and captured at a Boys and Girls Club in Mexico City. Under the creative direction of a Latino-led team, the campaign draws from elements of Chicano culture as interpreted through Willy Chavarria’s own perspective, highlighting the beauty of self expression, motion and dance.
The adidas Originals x Willy Chavarria SS26 collection is available in select adidas stores, the adidas CONFIRMED app, on willychavarria.com, adidas.com/willy_chavarria, and at select retailers starting December 12th.
