Spring-Summer 2026 promises to be a landmark moment in the world of streetwear and men’s fashion: designer Willy Chavarria reunites with adidas Originals to create a collection where grit meets elegance and personal expression merges with cultural heritage. SS26 is a bold mix of oversized silhouettes, rich textures, and details that not only make a visual impact but also carry strong emotional weight.
Chavarria describes his work as a blend of “toughness and refined athletic elegance, strength and dignity,” offering “a uniform for anyone who has earned their place in the world.” This is more than just clothing—it’s a philosophy that reflects character and individuality.
The collection’s standout pieces immediately draw attention. The Chavarria Chicano Sweatshirt pays homage to the designer’s roots: embroidered “CHICANO” lettering, a puff-print eagle, and Trefoil and Mexican flag appliqués on the back turn the sweatshirt into a symbol of cultural pride. The Mockneck, crafted from heavy cotton fleece with embroidered Trefoils, adds architectural structure, while the Chavarria Satin Bomber in satin twill with an oversized silhouette is the perfect balance of boldness and luxury.
Footwear plays an equally central role. The Chavarria Forum Boot, available in mid and low versions, combines utilitarian rigor with premium materials, while the Jabbar Low returns in four new colorways, featuring gold “KAREEM” and “WILLY” lettering and a leather sockliner honoring cultural icons. Each pair balances rebellion with refinement, ready for any urban adventure.
The campaign for the collection is a powerful tribute to identity, pride, and cultural heritage. All shoots took place in Mexico City at the Boys and Girls Club, with an entirely Latino cast and crew, enhancing the authenticity and emotional depth of the collection.
The Willy Chavarria x adidas Originals SS26 collection will be available starting December 12 on both brands’ websites and in select adidas stores. For those who value style, strength, and cultural expression, this collection is a true discovery.
