What makes this collab even more hype-y is how closely it mirrors the roots of the Spezial range itself. When curator Gary Aspden launched the sub-line back in 2014, it was meant as a love letter to Adidas collectors, particularly those up in the north of England, where the Gallaghers were born. These weren’t trainers made for TikTok unboxings; they were made for pub gardens and record shops and gig queues. And now, with the Noel Gallagher x Adidas Marathon SPZL, it feels like a full circle moment.
The Noel Gallagher x Adidas Marathon SPZL ‘Night Navy’ is set to drop at Adidas, the Confirmed app, and select stockists on August 16—the same day as the band’s Dublin show. And yes, before you ask, Liam’s got a pair coming soon, too: The frontman will counter his brother’s collab with a take on the Achille SPZL in a ‘Stone Khaki’ colorway.
