For over two decades, British musical icons Liam and Noel Gallagher have maintained close relationships with Gary Aspden – curator of the adidas SPZL range, often wearing and on occasion doing product collaborations with the German sportswear brand. Now, with the two brothers reunited for a world tour, they have struck a partnership with the Three Stripes that sees each of them launching a new adidas SPZL trainer.
Having previously joined forces with adidas SPZL to create the LG SPZL and two colourways of the LGII SPZL, for this new shoe Liam Gallagher requested to work on bringing back a revised version of one of the brand’s archival runners – the adidas Achille. Made up in a tonal colourway with some tweaks to the upper pattern the adidas LG Achille SPZL features a khaki mesh base, with chocolate brown stripes, a beige suede T-toe overlay and a sand outsole.
Noel first worked with adidas on the NG72 trainers back in 2011 and his last official collaboration was with adidas SPZL in the form of the highly limited NG Garwen SPZL that immediately sold out back in 2017. Nearly a decade later Noel Gallagher turns his focus to a new hybrid inspired by the adidas Marathon 85 silhouette. Keeping the suede upper and rubber outsole of the Marathon 85 this new version comes in a deep navy/sky blue palette with a reworked toe box (that adds a ‘T’ toe overlay) and midsole as well as details like the Eco-Tex tongue and tonal eyelets.
Both shoes are then completed with the instantly recognisable portraits of their namesakes on the tongues, as well as spare laces, co-branded sock liners, and commemorative packaging.
Coinciding with the brothers’ Irish tour dates, the adidas LG Achille SPZL and the adidas NG Marathon SPZL are set to launch via adidas SPZL stockists and the adidas Carnaby and MCR retail stores on August 16th.
