What do you get when Lecce’s finest tailor meets adidas Originals? A collection sewn with sentiment, tradition, and serious style.
This season, the CONFIRMED Holiday Program welcomes LC23, a Southern Italian brand rooted in craft and community, for a capsule that’s rich in heritage and stitched with heart.

For Leo Colacicco, founder of LC23, this isn’t just a collab, it’s a love letter to his homeland. Inspired by the textures, colours, and rituals of daily life in Puglia, each piece merges timeless Italian techniques with contemporary streetwear. Hand-tombolo lace, delicate crochet, and vintage embroidery meet adidas silhouettes in a way that feels both nostalgic and new.
Launching exclusively via CONFIRMED, the drop includes reworked Firebird track suits, Made-in-Italy editions of the Gazelle and Italia 60s, and even a tuxedo shirt with a crochet tie for all your formal get-ups. But make no mistake—these aren’t mass-produced. Every item is painstakingly crafted, and available only through raffles live from 8th–11th of December.
And here’s the twist, you can’t buy any of it. This collection isn’t hitting shelves or carts. Every piece is available only via raffle on the adidas CONFIRMED app. No price tags, no checkout screens, just a chance to win something truly rare. Crafted in limited quantities, each item reflects hours of handwork, making this drop as exclusive as it gets.
“This is the most important project of my life,” says Leo. “In Southern Italy, the holidays are about being together—sharing meals, playing cards, laughing for hours. I wanted this collection to feel like that: meaningful and full of joy.”
It’s a rare moment where tailoring meets terraces, and where every thread tells a story. Whether you’re in it for the Gazelles or the nostalgia, this is more than a drop—it’s a slice of Southern Italy you can wear.
Head to the adidas CONFIRMED app now because these pieces won’t hang around.
