Wind the clocks back a year and focus your thoughts to Gary Aspden’s now infamous “SPEZIAL” exhibition in London. For purist who’ve loved the shoe for years, decades even, this was a shinning moment as a highly under utilized silhouette finally received the proper shine it deserves. For others, who maybe don’t share an intimate experience with the shoe, it was a glimpse into its history and an explanation as to why its held in such high esteem. Fast forward to a year later and we’re in the midst of a detailed look at the SPEZIAL x adidas Originals Footwear Collection, an idea that saw conception thanks to Aspden himself. Highlighting elder statesmen in the brand archive including the adidas Hand-Burg, adidas Touring, adidas Boston & adidas Topanga, each model denotes premium nubuck, suede, and leather uppers in bold coloring, helping preserve their minimal nature and classic appeal. The SPEZIAL x adidas Originals Footwear collection releases this Saturday, October 25th in-store and online at Foot Patrol.
