31.08.2018

Two models studying a record in a record shop, one crouched in a teal puffer jacket, jeans and white adidas trainers

Spezial season is upon us once again. Continuing with the late 80s, Blackburn warehouse rave flavour served up by Gary Aspden and co earlier this year, this time we’ve got some big coats, a tracksuit, the return of the München Super, a new one called the Lowertree, and a brown leather leisure beauty called the Punstock.

The first batch of adidas Spezial stuff goes online at 00:01 on Friday the 7^th of September (BST), but until then, here’s some photos we took during a scour of the local record shops…
