adidas SPEZIAL Spring Summer ’20 Collection

This season, adidas Spezial takes inspiration from the look and the lineage of the British Soul scenes. There is a thread that runs from the Northern Soul phenomenon of the 1970s through the early House/Jazz Fusion of the 80s through Acid Jazz in the 90s that has left an unshakable imprint and legacy. The 70s saw London’s ‘Soul boys’ setting their own style agenda whilst working-class youths in the north were requesting rare, fast-tempo soul records in the clubs and dancehalls of Wigan and Blackpool. These young men and women created their own localised interpretation of American soul music and laid the foundations for much of the styling for the decades that followed. Spezial brings a contemporary take on this story across a range of apparel and footwear, rediscovering long-lost gems from the adidas archive and creating premium editions of essential 3-stripes apparel. The adidas SPEZIAL Spring Summer ’20 Collection will be coming to HANON on June 12th...
