adidas Spezial Summer 2022
This season, adidas Spezial returns with its Summer ‘22 selection: a carefully curated marriage of now and then, featuring an array of timeless styles. Tailored for a discerning audience, the brand’s latest collection blends 1970s aesthetics and functional cues with subtly updated military details.
The collection’s footwear selection is made up of four unique silhouettes. First up, the Adilette SPZL sees the return of the fan favourite slide in an off- white colorway with black embossed mod Trefoil and Spezial branding. Next up is an extension of adidas’ famed City Series: the Warszawa SPZL. Boasting a maroon suede upper with bright yellow synthetic leather stripes and a navy rubber outsole, the silhouette seamlessly reimagines the past for today.
A lesser known flat suede shoe from the adidas archive then makes its return in the form of the Stapfen SPZL – featuring a unique lacing system with rope laces, a brown suede upper, tonal brown suede overlays, and a gum rubber outsole. Last, but certainly not least, the Summer ́22 collection is capped off with the Yabisah SPZL. Brought back from the brand’s famed ‘Island Series’ for the first time, the sleek runner returns in a perfect one to one recreation from the past.
Turning its focus from footwear to apparel and accessories, adidas Spezial’s Summer ‘22 collection features a number of dutifully crafted looks. Headlining with a new classic - the Calavadella Jacket – in a seasonal peach colorway. Rounding out the seasonal offering is an accessories selection made up of the classic Parbold II Bag and a graphic Patch Bucket hat.
The launch of the adidas Spezial Summer ‘22 collection is accompanied by a campaign film which explores the early British electronic music scene and the nation’s industrial Northern landscape through a raw, honest, portrayal of the band “Working Men’s Club” and their lead singer Syd Minsky-Sargeant in his hometown of Todmorden, England. Stills shot by the heralded music photographer Kevin Cummins sit proudly alongside the film, lending a deeply personal lens to the campaign. Watch it here.
