Adidas x Willy Chavarria

Adidas and Willy Chavarria are releasing a new “Love Prevails” collection on April 18, with Japan retailers already taking entries for the drop. (news.adidas.com, atmos-tokyo.com) Adidas said the collection includes two Chavarria Superstar colorways and apparel, all tied to a campaign built around “resistance through empathy, community, and dignity.” Willy Chavarria’s own site lists the Spring/Summer 2026 collaboration as part of the brand’s current adidas project. (news.adidas.com, willychavarria.com) In Japan, atmos said raffle entries for the two Superstar styles opened on April 13 and run until April 17 at 8:59 a.m., with winners announced on April 18 at 10:00 a.m. The retailer priced each shoe at ¥26,400 and listed apparel prices from ¥16,500 for T-shirts to ¥82,500 for a bomber jacket. (atmos-tokyo.com) The release lands as adidas and Chavarria deepen a partnership that adidas has described as ongoing since the designer’s debut collection for the brand in 2025. Adidas said the Spring/Summer 2026 line followed earlier Jabbar and Megaride projects and Chavarria’s Fall/Winter 2026 Paris runway show. (news.adidas.com, news.adidas.com, news.adidas.com) The new shoe centers on the Superstar, one of adidas’s oldest shell-toe models, but Chavarria changed the front with a molded rose detail. Footwear News reported the rose-toe version is part of the same April 18 release. (news.adidas.com, wwd.com) Japan has become an early read on the collection’s commercial rollout. The atmos product page shows a full local assortment and timing before many broader market details appeared in English-language coverage, while House of Heat said the collection will also release through the CONFIRMED app, adidas.com, and select retailers on April 18. (atmos-tokyo.com, houseofheat.co) Chavarria has used adidas to push familiar sportswear shapes into wider proportions and sharper tailoring cues. Adidas said the Spring/Summer 2026 collection mixes archive athletic references with “exaggerated proportions, premium materials, and tactile detailing,” language that matches the oversized track jackets, cargo pieces, and pinstripe separates shown in Japan retail listings. (news.adidas.com, atmos-tokyo.com) For now, the clearest date is April 18. That is when adidas says “Love Prevails” launches, and when Japan raffle winners are set to find out whether the early heat turns into a sellout. (news.adidas.com, atmos-tokyo.com)
