1970s Adidas Spezial trainers are back in black and yellow

Posted on | Leave a comment

Spez1

A low key reissue, but certainly an eye-catching one – the return of the Adidas Spezial trainers in a black colourway.

A shoe from 1979 that was designed for indoor sports, it's a lightweight number, this time with a suede upper and 'laser yellow' accents on the leather three stripe branding, throwing in a contrasting heel piece plus a thick gum sole to finish things off.

See the shoe from a reverse angle over the page. All sizes available, £54.99 is the price.

Vitra’s George Nelson Natural Sunburst Clock now available in oak

Posted on | Leave a comment

Sunburst

It's a midcentury classic – and now the George Nelson Natural Sunburst Clock has been reissued by Vitra in oak.

It's a shape that screams the midcentury era, this particular example being produced as far back as 1949, but more commonly associated with the 1950s. This reissue is true to the original, with those shooting arms and white contrast face. Only this time, those arms are in oak to keep things lighter.

Sized around 470mm, you can pick one up for £208.

Adidas Trimm-Trab trainers get a reissue in blue and gold

Posted on | 1 Comment

Trim1

If the bright orange reissue from August wasn't quite your thing, the Adidas Trimm-Trab trainers reissue in a contrasting blue colourway might well suit you more.

Yes, the last issue was orange with blue detailing, this time it's blue suede with orange (although officially described as gold) detail. But everything else is in tune with the 1977 'keep fit' cult classic. That means an indented white sole made of ultra-durable polyurethane, Ghilly lacing and gold foil print branding.

Available online while stocks last, you can pick up a pair for £54.99. Another shot over the page.

London1

The recent reissue of the Adidas London flew off the shelves at one particular retailer. But here's some good news if you missed out – the Adidas Online Store has loads of them, in almost every size too right now.

Safly not the brown suede version but the black suede version with red/orange detailing, gold foil print, embossed pimpled tongue and a gum sole.

Pick up a pair of the City Series reissue for £50 (which is actually cheaper than previously sold too) at the Adidas Online Store. Interestingly, the site also has a yellow variation that we've not seen previously – although right now it's only showing in a size 5. See a shot of that over the page.

New York Cosmos reforms – Umbro makes retro-styled kit

Posted on | Leave a comment

Cosmos1

It seems that the New York Cosmos, the legendary US football (or 'soccer' if you like) team from the 70s and 80s, have reformed. Not only that, there's a new kit – the shirt is pictured above and a track top is pictured over the page, worn by the club's most famous son, both made by sportswear firm Umbro.

The club is apparently back under new ownership, with Pele as its honorary chairman and with the aim of (eventually) competing in the Major League Soccer tournament in the US. But right now, it's focusing on 'elite' youth academies to bring the best players through.

Despite the lack of league action, the club is producing new kits before the end of the year. No news on price or availability, but we suspect there will be big demand when it lands in a matter of weeks.
