END. x Adidas Celebrating A Decade of Style With New "By the Sea" Collection
Author: Mark Haddon | Saturday 3rd August 2024
Marking a significant milestone in collaborative fashion, British retailer END. partners with Gary Aspden’s iconic adidas SPZL for the first time to present the “By the Sea” collection. This 11-piece ensemble is inspired by the quintessential British seaside town, celebrating the heritage of both END. and adidas SPZL as they commemorate their 10th anniversary.
Since its inception in 2014 by cultural figure Gary Aspden, adidas SPZL has honored the legacy of the Three Stripes, blending vintage design with modern sensibilities. The “By the Sea” collection continues this tradition, reimagining classic adidas styles with contemporary flair.
Central to the collection are three revitalized footwear classics. The Moscrop 2 SPZL sneaker returns in a sandy hue, featuring Cordura uppers and pigskin suede overlays. This design merges elements from the adidas Raider and the Argentinian-made adidas Infinity, highlighted by the distinctive Dellinger Web Sole. The Wilsy SPZL, another favorite, appears in Chalk White and Tribe Green with nubuck uppers and tonal mesh panels, embodying a retro sportswear vibe. Completing the trio, the Samba Deco SPZL is reinterpreted in rich navy-blue pigskin suede with a modern twist on the classic T-Toe design and Seaweed Green leather Three Stripes.
The apparel selection in the “By the Sea” collection showcases adidas SPZL’s enduring influence, featuring seven pieces in the collection’s signature color palette. The Calavadella Jacket, named after an Ibiza cove, stands out in vibrant Tribe Green recycled polyester, reflecting the music culture of Ibiza that inspired the brand. This jacket includes a removable hood, four bellow pockets, a drawstring waist, and the iconic adidas SPZL woven patches. The Track Top and Track Pant in Cardboard brown evoke retro athletic style, with tonal Three Stripes and embroidered logos. The collection also includes two jersey t-shirts, honoring SPZL’s history with END. branding, and the Meanwood Polo Shirt, which blends vintage sportswear with modern touches.
The collection is rounded off with two headwear pieces: a Tribe Green Bucket Hat and a Cardboard brown Cap, each featuring the SPZL logo.
The END. x adidas SPZL “By the Sea” collection will be available at END. Newcastle starting August 2nd and will launch online and at END. flagship stores in London, Manchester, Milan, and Glasgow on August 9th, 2024.
