Whitaker Group x adidas BW Mundial Releases July 23
The Whitaker Group's prolific partnership with adidas continues with a hybrid silhouette that splices the BW Army with football-inspired elements from the Mundial Indoor. Arriving in three distinct colorway treatments, the collection launches July 16 at select retailers and July 23 on adidas.com.

The Whitaker Group has spent the better part of a decade establishing itself as the rare collaborator capable of balancing volume with intentionality. Through A Ma Maniere and now the broader "Do Not Disturb" collection with adidas, James Whitner's Atlanta operation has cycled through iterations with remarkable frequency—yet certain silhouettes have emerged as recurring obsessions. The BW Army has proven foundational to that vision, appearing across early collection drops, Western-inflected reworks, and experimental hybrids that have tested the model's plasticity alongside the SL 72 and Superstar/Campus lineups.
With the BW Mundial, that exploratory impulse deepens further. The new silhouette fuses the BW Army's core construction with design cues sourced from adidas's storied Mundial Indoor—a model rooted in futbol heritage. The result occupies an interesting middle ground: neither a straight retro revival nor a superficial mash-up, but rather a deliberate cross-pollination that respects both lineages.
Design Details
Three colorways comprise the initial offering, each articulating the collaboration's philosophy through material and finish choices. The first iteration presents a black-and-white foundation anchored by scalloped suede edges and nylon branding elements that elevate it beyond a simple color swap. The second explores a blue and navy palette paired with faux-aged midsoles and cream-to-tan accents, introducing a more sophisticated, vintage-leaning aesthetic.
The third colorway remains unspecified in available imagery but follows the same $160 retail price point. Each pair carries SKUs KH8099, KH8100, and KH8101 respectively, with construction details suggesting mid-cut proportions and heritage football silhouette DNA throughout.
