ADIDAS SPZL

About ADIDAS SPZL

adidas SPZL is the range from Herzogenaurach that takes its cues from the adidas archive. The name is short for Spezial, a German word, and it points back to the Spezial series designed for all sports, best known for the Handball Spezial. Gary Aspden is behind it, a long-time adidas supporter whose British upbringing among subcultures shaped the work, including the football casuals' love of City series models and 80s runners like the ZX. He and a team of designers dig through the archive and reissue vintage models with care. There are hybrids too, pairing one model's sole with another's upper. Apparel includes jackets, track jackets, sweatshirts, T-shirts, polos, beanies and caps. New collections land twice a year.
