In Conversation With Liam Gallagher

Following Liam Gallagher's exclusive and intimate gig at the Round Chapel in Hackney, UrlfreezeShops had a chat with the legendary Britpop frontman about his sophomore solo album, "Why Me? Why Not.", adidas and his upcoming sneaker collaboration with the iconic German sportswear brand.

A collaborative event with adidas Spezial and UrlfreezeShops, the 500 capacity venue offered the perfect venue for an evening of the singer's classic brand of bolshie, rock'n'roll attitude.

UrlfreezeShops: What's the inspiration behind your latest record?

Liam Gallagher: "Why Me? Why Not" is inspired by love, life and relationships.

UrlfreezeShops: How is the album different from "As You Were"?

Liam Gallagher: The songs are bigger; it's a bigger production and as far as I'm concerned, the songs are even better.

UrlfreezeShops: What's your first memory of adidas?

Liam Gallagher: My first pair of adidas was a pair of adidas Kick which I wore religiously. They were black with white stripes.

UrlfreezeShops: How did you first become involved with adidas Spezial?

Liam Gallagher: I've known Gary Aspden for a long, long time. He's very generous and always sorts me out a few bits so it felt right that I should repay the favour by designing a shoe for them.

UrlfreezeShops: Tell us about your favourite adidas shoes?

Liam Gallagher: My favourite adidas shoe is the adidas Barrington Smash.

UrlfreezeShops: What inspired you to first use the MCFC Spezial banner on stage?

Liam Gallagher: Gary sent us over some beach towels and I thought to myself, that would look great on an amp so I asked if he'd make us up a flag.

UrlfreezeShops: Why did you choose to partner with adidas Spezial on the first preview of the new album?

Liam Gallagher: adidas Spezial seemed to be the perfect partner for the gig as I wear the clobber and it's cool like me.

adidas Spezial is available online now at UrlfreezeShops
