The adidas Italia SPZL Suits Up in Denim
Americana vibes.
As brands gear up for springtime, adidas and its timeless Spezial line have presented new looks with the reveal of its Pre-Spring 2023 collection. Its carefully considered apparel range offers everything from technical outerwear to a new hat silhouette featuring adjustable ear flaps. However, its footwear presentation is where things really take a turn. Amidst the unique silhouettes, the Italia SPZL — a sneaker previously operated on by C.P. Company — stands out with its denim makeover.
A shoe inspired by terrace culture — though fitting in snugly with Americana styling with this rendition — the Italia SPZL goes denim-on-denim in its latest look. A nod to a pair previously outfitted in denim in the ’00s, a modern approach has been enlisted to balance past, present and future, a trademark of its overarching Spezial division. Its base features a true blue hue while the Three Stripes and additional overlays such as the heel’s X shape favor a lighter shade. Topping it all off, a brown leather adidas Spezial tag appears on the tongue alongside gold adidas Italia text printed towards the heel.
For those interested in grabbing a pair, the adidas Italia SPZL Denim is available now via adidas on the Confirmed app at a price of $150 USD.
