It’s all systems go for adidas and The Whitaker Group in 2026. James Whitner’s sneaker empire appears to have a new deal in place with the Three Stripes, one that’s already produced thirty distinct sneakers in just a few months’ time under the Do Not Duplicate series. We hit that nice round number with this latest quartet, one of special significance as it introduces a new model into the adidas canon.

The Whitaker Group gets the honor of introducing the adidas BW 00s – a chunky, street-wise spin on the adidas BW Army (aka the adidas German Army Trainer). Much like the popular Campus 00s does to its namesake, the model features exaggerated proportions and herringbone tread akin to the Superstar. The T-toe and side panels stay familiar, while the spine now features two layers for added visual depth.

Cream and Clay/Navy adidas BW 00s colorways are on the way, both featuring cracked leather uppers, hairy suede overlays, and fuzzy laces. Three half-circle serrations around the top of the eyelets keep in line with past Do Not Duplicate drops, while the tongue features new off-set branding. The other half of the drop delivers two more adidas Handball Spezial makeups, one in Green and the other in Yellow/Purple.

Raffles for the latest Whitaker Group x adidas Do Not Duplicate drop are live now via all Whitaker Group retailers. Both models are priced at $140.
