adidas SPZL Unveils Second Instalment of SPZL F.C. With Adam Wharton

Crafted through the lens of Gary Aspden, adidas SPZL steps back onto the pitch for the second instalment of its SPZL F.C. collection, a head-to-toe capsule that pays homage to the culture surrounding the beautiful game. This season, the collection bridges lifestyle and performance, channeling the spirit of grassroots football while keeping its gaze firmly on the world stage.

Fronting the campaign is Adam Wharton, one of English football’s brightest young stars, who brings a raw energy to a narrative that celebrates the journey of the game – from quiet training grounds to stadium floodlights. Shot in a stripped-back, meditative style, the visuals echo the rhythm, grit, and passion that fuel football at every level.

For Wharton, the essence of football lies in its people. “The supporters have a bigger impact than they maybe think. You know when they’re behind you, the momentum’s with you. It just gives you that extra little bit to make the tackle, block a shot, score a goal.” It’s this eternal bond between fan and player that underpins the latest SPZL F.C. drop.

On the design front, the capsule blends heritage detail with modern execution. A ripstop smock revisits SPZL’s classic outerwear DNA, reworked with a chest badge nodding to SPZL F.C. identity. A cotton crew neck, plain weave trousers, and logo cap lean into the brand’s lifestyle credentials, while the Roelee SPZL F.C. trainer returns in fresh colourways to anchor the off-pitch aesthetic.

That balance between pitch and pavement continues with the revival of an icon: the Copa Mundial SPZL F.C. boot. Reimagined with a fold-over tongue, red studs, and signature SPZL detailing, it’s a bold statement of how performance classics can be reframed through a contemporary lens. Completing the line-up is a football stamped with dual SPZL and SPZL F.C. branding – a fitting emblem for a collection that connects every touchpoint of the game.

From terraces to turf, SPZL F.C. Fall/Winter 2025 embodies the power of football to inspire, connect, and evolve.

The Autumn/Winter 2025 SPZL F.C. collection arrives in limited quantities on 18 September and is available through Confirmed and select retailers.
