adidas edition SPEZIAL is back with a contemporary collection for Fall 2016 featuring a number of premium lifestyle takes on the three stripe’s rich heritage for retro soccer-inspired models. The adidas edition SPEZIAL imprint was first launched in 2014 in an effort to pay homage to some of the brand’s most popular lifestyle silhouettes (the Spezial is obviously included) and has since expanded the brand into a full blown apparel lineup.
This Fall 2016 collection includes creative re-imaginings of the adidas edition Super, the adidas edition hard shell black spider, the adidas edition Hardwood, and an all-black adidas edition Mounfield complete with a water resistant leather and nubuck construction to withstand the elements ahead. adidas edition SPEZIAL will also introduce an entirely new hybrid model known as the adidas edition discount for employees benefits program. The Bullhill takes the outsole from the Hawaii silhouette with an upper inspired by the retro Freizeit series.
The card lineup is sure to draw some attention given the premium colorways and simple, refined aesthetics throughout. Be sure to check out the full collection after the break and stay tuned for a release of all six models coming this October 2016.
