adidas Spezial

The adidas Spezial range explores the history of adidas trainers by exploring retro and historic silhouettes from the brand’s back catalogue.

Some of adidas’ biggest releases from the past few years have been part of the Spezial range, including the city series and a number of high-profile collaborations, most notably the Liam Gallagher x adidas Spezial.

The brainchild of Gary Aspden, the adidas Spezial range pays homage to the brand’s rich history. Growing up in the North West in the 1980s, Aspden’s work is greatly influenced by football and the terrace casual communities which are so central to the sport.

In 2013, Gary Aspden displayed a collection of classic adidas releases in an exhibition which received widespread acclaim by fans of the brand. This led to a sharp increase in the retro silhouettes and eventually led to the launch of the adidas Spezial range alongside a second exhibition in 2014.

Since then there has been a stream of releases within the Spezial collection. Some of the most popular of these releases include the Handburg, the Blackburn, and the Lowertree.
