Calling all sneakerheads, only a year on from their last collaboration, Liam Gallagher and adidas SPEZIAL have reunited once again for collaboration number three.
Liam Gallagher's longtime affinity for adidas isn't just the stuff of folklore; it's proven in the three collaborations he's done with them. The latest follows on from the release of the artist's album, Knebworth 22, and is marked by a newly updated colourway in the collection, acting as a celebration of adidas' mighty heritage and the singer/songwriter's own extraordinary musical legacy.
First debuted by the musician ahead of his performance at London's iconic KOKO concert venue in August 2023, the latest colourway of the LG2 SPZL - a collection launched as part of his last collaboration, which debuted in September 2022 - pays homage to early iterations of the adidas Country, combining a bottle green heel and stripes with a gum outsole and a chalk white upper.
Whenever such collaborations occur, many presume the artist involved had little to do with the actual design process. Although this may be true of other sneaker collaborations, this is certainly not true regarding adidas launches. The LG2 SPZL silhouette offers nods to several different historical adidas footwear references that have inspired the Gallagher brother, designed with direct input from Liam himself and features the artist's instantly recognisable portrait on the tongue.
The latest colourway of the LG2 SPZL launches on 8 September and is available via all adidas Spezial stockists.
