Adidas Originals – Adidas SPEZIAL SS17 Featuring Chronixx

Inspired by the rich sportswear heritage of Adidas’ own archive, and its global cultural impact, the Adidas SPEZIAL collection has affirmed itself an important and integral part of the Adidas Originals output over the course of the last two years. Its premium and carefully curated range of product is inspired by the brand’s past and geared towards a modern, progressive perspective. At the core of the SPEZIAL range lies the idea of adoption and reinterpretation- to create solid products that are then left up to the individual’s interpretation in their styling.

For SS17 SPEZIAL turns its attention to the parallels between British casual culture and Jamaican reggae culture. Two cultures which, at first glance, seem glaringly different but share a host of commonalities. Linked through a love of music, football and fashion, the two subcultures are paid tribute to in reinvented staples of modern menswear. Military-inspired jackets, full tracksuits, knitted polos, iconic 3 stripe trainers and leisure shoes all play a part in nodding towards two distinct cultures and highlighting our similarities rather than our differences.
