As we step into 2024, adidas Spezial celebrates its tenth revolution around the fashion sun, stylishly unboxing its pre-spring revelations. It has found a novel way to present adidas' timeless design story, injected with bursts of newness, innovation, and reinvention. Can you believe it's been a decade already since the birth of Spezial? Indeed it has, and of course, adidas couldn't just let this marker pass unnoticed.
We're moving on from winter's deathly chill and lengthy nights, shifting gears towards spring's balmy welcome. The designer brand, in creative collaboration with SPZL founder Gary Aspden, has mapped an exploratory journey through the label's narrative — past, present, and soon to be. Their newest collection is an innovative reiteration of adidas' classic design ethos. The assemblage astutely unites footwear, apparel, and matching accessories, flowing into each other like rivers into an ocean.
Footwear boasts seven fresh silhouettes, leading with the Gazelle SPZL returning in an all-black number and a chalk white denim version, followed by the vintage '80s vibe of the Whitworth SPZL, the Handball Pro SPZL, Boston Super SPZL, our all-time fav Wensley SPZL, and rounding up the line with the snug slip-on- as adilette SPZL. Crossing over from shoes to clothing and accessories, the collection, per usual, presents an array of carefully crafted ensembles. Taking center stage is the already famous Todmorden Smock, which made its first appearance in Spring 2021 before swiftly becoming a symbol of innovative, dynamic design.
Then we've got two sublime jackets, the Trentham and the Wingrove - oh, honey, these are your spring layering dream. In perfect harmony, the Angelzarke track top and track pants gently hold the threshold of Spezial's audacious signature details. To round off the clothing selection, we've got the Rossendale Short, a Polo shirt, and the Lytham tee - a veritable offering of adidas Spezial decadence.
This simply delightful adidas Spezial Pre-Spring '24 collection makes its grand entrance in limited quantities on April 4, available through CONFIRMED and a hand-picked array of retailers. So, follow along, let's take this fashion journey together.
