After taking to Marseille to highlight its Spring/Summer 2016 drop, the Three Stripes’ adidas Originals x SPEZIAL collection for this year’s fall/winter season is on the way. Highlighted above in a special editorial by SHOWstudio and Nick Knight (who recently shot Travis Scott’s Birds in the Trap Sing McKnight album cover), the range is modeled by Wolf Gillespie — son of stylist Katy England and Primal Scream’s Bobby Gillespie — and stays true to the heritage-inspired aesthetic of previous SPEZIAL releases. The result is a distinct throwback to the adi sportswear of old and one that employs special Mod Trefoil graphics and bold blue hues — a nod to tennis player Ivan Lendi — across sweats, outerwear, beanies and more.

Enjoy the first look at the range above and stay tuned for an official unveiling along with concrete release info.
