Suiting you up for the changing seasons, Adidas Originals unveils the latest Spezial collection for AW23. The autumnal hues feature across a range of heritage sneaker silhouettes and a wide apparel range, with the campaign fronted by Roy Keane.
Spezial continues to hold that level of allure that elevates every drop for adidas Originals, and the new collection for AW23 is no different, picking up where the pre-spring collection left off earlier this year. The footwear offering is made up of seven unique silhouettes, while the apparel and accessories feature a number of highly crafted looks with a focus on recycled fabrics. The collection is showcased in a campaign film which follows the iconic footballer Roy Keane, as he takes his dog 'Jet' on a lakeside walk.
Starting with the clothing, and the headliners are two outwear pieces in the Haslingden Jacket and the Moorfield Anorak. Accompanying them is the Topfield liner - a versatile liner in gold embellished with embroidered Mod Trefoil branding on the back. Joining them is the Sudell Track Top and Track Pants, with an extended version of the classic Mod Trefoil logo which is reflected in a wrap around mountain graphic. A selection of t-shirts, polos, crewnecks and hoodies, roundabout the apparel, while the seasonal accessories offering is completed with the inclusion of a 'box logo' Beanie and the Chilcott Hat – a fleece lined cap featuring foldable flaps.
The footwear features the Moscrop 2 SPZL in a light grey colourway with an update to the upper panelling, and the winter ready Hiaven SPZL, reimagined in a monochromatic black palette with an adi-Tex membrane to protect against the elements. They’re joined by the Samba Deco SPZL, which arrives in two colourways: a black and green makeup paying homage to a 1980s football boots and a brown and white iteration referencing the colour palette of the original 1970s Trainer that inspired its design.
The Inverness SPZL, meanwhile, is an outdoor–leisure hybrid that is an evolution of the Carnforth SPZL. These arrive in a dark brown colorway to marry up with the Haslingden Jacket also available as part of the collection. Accompanying the outdoor silhouette is the Englewood SPZL – a low top court shoe with a Campus 80s tooling that reinvents the late 80s Galaxy II high top boot. Finally from a footwear perspective and completing the lineup, there’s the Lawkholme SPZL.
The latest adidas Spezial collection arrives in limited quantities on November 16th, and is available through the adidas Confirmed app and select retailers.
