Two absolute staples of football fashion come together once more in celebration of an anniversary, with C.P. Company and adidas SPZL revealing a new collaborative collection.
Back in 2021 adidas SPZL jumped on board to help commemorate C.P. Company’s 50th anniversary. Now, the favour is returned, with the legendary Italian label joining together with SPZL once more, this time in celebration of the latter’s 10th anniversary. And it’s fair to say that between them they’ve pulled out all the stops, bringing together an ensemble cast of the two labels’ long-time confidants for a campaign that is based on shared experience, raw talent and genuine friendship.
The collection is made up of apparel, footwear, and accessories, co-branded throughout. The footwear offering features six unique adidas SPZL silhouettes – CP Wimberly SPZL in two colourways, CP Helvellyn SPZL, CP SL 83 SPZL, CP Manchester SPZL, and CP Italia SPZL – told through the lens of C.P. Company.
The apparel then takes iconic pieces from throughout the storied history of both brands, reworking and reimagining them in an authentic cultural exchange. This is done in part by playfully integrating the design language of SPZL into the graphic iconography of C.P. Company.
The lineup includes a sweatshirt featuring the iconic C.P. Company sailors donned head to toe in an adidas SPZL outfit and both a short sleeve and long sleeve pocket tee that each give a nod to the graphics of C.P. Company's early Mille Miglia jackets. Other pieces include a collaborative logo tee and a half zip knit which updates the first ever Mod Trefoil apparel piece from the very first season of SPZL in 2014. A matching track top and pants are produced in a fine needle cord and premiumise the Settend 2 tracksuit released by adidas SPZL back in 2015.
Highlighting the apparel selection are two outerwear jackets: the CP SPZL Puffer Jacket and the CP SPZL Flying Jacket. Both looks boast the highest levels of Italian craftsmanship and feature detachable branding options.
