Also launching in August is the NG Marathon SPZL, building on the success of the Marathon 86 SPZL "Shock Slime" that came out in 2021. This time, the adidas Spezial Marathon Noel Gallagher "Night Navy" will offer a more muted approach with its navy colourway. This limited edition trainer, part of Gary Aspden's latest SPZL curation, aligns perfectly with the group's retro style code, released as the Oasis Live '25 Tour ignites nostalgia.
Originally designed for long distance running, this old school trainer will boast a navy blue upper, ensuring a lightweight and breathable experience. Expect to see co branded SPZL and Noel Gallagher labels, celebrating this milestone, complementing the traditional Three Stripes on the sidewalls and Mod Trefoil logos on the tongue and insole. Just like the LG Achilles SPZL, there will be an EVA foam midsole, providing supportive cushioning, reinforced by a durable rubber sole for superb traction. This Marathon shoe will also come with exclusive packaging and additional lacing options.
Summing up Aspden's thoughts on the process - Noel, a long-time fan of the Marathon 85, collaborated with SPZL to create a fully revised take on the silhouette. Changes included a reshaped upper, classic ‘T’ toe overlay, adjusted midsole depth, and removal of the heel scoop. A deep navy suede, tonal eyelet covers, and an ecotex ‘dimple’ tongue featuring Noel’s portrait completed the look, packaged in a blue box with vintage-style signature athlete graphics.
