adidas SPZL and C.P. Company have unveiled a new collaborative collection, merging German and Italian design with British culture to produce a capsule for the terraces like no other.
The link-up celebrates 10 years of Spezial but this isn't the first time to the two iconic football brands have joined forces, having done so back in 2021 for C.P. Company’s 50th anniversary.
The collection plays on old school adidas and C.P. Company, dipping into both archives for a modern collab with a classic feel. The duo merge signature elements like the Italian brand’s British Sailor motif and Mille jacket with SPZL’s timeless footwear silhouettes.
The collaboration features dual-branded caps, crossbody bags, gloves and outerwear essentials in earthy shades of brown with red and black details. T-shirts, a quarter-zip and a jumper with C.P. Company’s British Sailor printed on the front create perfect opportunities for layering as those cold football nights start to kick-off.
It wouldn’t be a SPZL collection without a few terrace-ready shoes, though. Five sneaker silhouettes arrive in the range, including the return of the Italia SPZL that dropped for the first time with the 2021 collab. A pair of Manchester SPZLs steal the show courtesy of their light blue leather and suede upper, navy sole and neon red stripes.
To launch the collection, the brands tapped up Ashley Walters, Stephen Graham, Goldie, Robert Brooks and Toby Mclellan to appear in a short film centred around camaraderie and celebration - the cornerstones of football.
The adidas SPZL x C.P. Company collection will be available to purchase starting November 12 via the adidas and C.P. Company websites and select retailers.
