The Whitaker Group, the retail boutique group made up of A Ma Maniére, Social Status, APB, and JAIDE, has been teaming up with brands across the sneaker landscape for the first half of 2026, and on the latest collection from its adidas Do Not Duplicate collaboration, TWG is adding its own twist to one of The Three Stripes' most popular silhouettes.

The Whitaker Group x adidas Do Not Duplicate: The Collection is highlighted by the brand-new BW 00s, a collaborative silhouette that expands on the BW Army, adidas’ take on the famed German Army Trainer. Arriving in two colorways alongside two suede and leather Handball Spezial pairs, the BW 00s is a bulky take on the classic slim European silhouette.

Featuring a puffy upper with hairy suede and cracked leather, the thick rope laces add to the old-school, weathered look of the shoe. The debut pairs of the silhouette feature one in navy suede with clay leather and a tan lace panel and laces, and a second with golden suede on top of a cream leather base, with green fuzzy laces.

The Whitaker Group x adidas Do Not Duplicate: The Collection will be released through EQL raffles across The Whitaker Group’s retail arms, with draws opening today, April 20, and closing April 22 at A Ma Maniére, Social Status, APB, and JAIDE. A subsequent drop through The Whitaker Group stores in-store and online will follow on April 24, 2026. Available in unisex sizing, the retail prices are set at $140 for the BW 00s and the Handball Spezials. For all the latest adidas collab news and drop info, download the Sole Retriever App.
