Two suede reissues of the Adidas Spezial trainers

Posted on | 1 Comment

Spez2

A 1970s classic is back on the market in two colours of suede – the Adidas Spezial trainers.

Originally created for that niche sport of handball back in 1979, it was soon picked up for the terraces and has been a pretty popular choice ever since. This reissue has a suede upper, matched with a perforated gum sole for extra cushioning, finished off with gold branding and 'oval' laces.

Take your pick from the navy and Argentina blue above or a blue and white pictured over the page. Both retail for £55.

Plim1

Not our plain old Chuck Taylor plimsoll, the limited edition Converse Chuck Taylor All Star Specialty Ox plimsolls change the format just a little bit from the 1917 original.

Take your pick between royal blue, black (pictured over the page) or a hi-top, with this new version of the (almost) century-old shoe offering a tonal rubber toe box and the bold colour, whilst taking away the contrast form stripe.

Aside from that, fairly standard stuff with a canvas upper and vulcanised sole. Sold with an alternate contrast lace set and in limited numbers, you can pick up a pair for £37.

Adidas_zx

1980s-style running shoes anyone? If that's a 'yes', then you are in look, Adidas has just reissued the ZX380 trainers from that very decade.

As you'd expect, it's a lightweight mix of mesh and suede for the uppers, a mix of white, off white and turquoise for the colour scheme, the latter for the stripes and branding. There's also a bio-mechanical sole, if you fancy doing a spot of jogging, too.

Limited numbers, with a price of £55.

Tommy Nutter: The Rebel on the Row at the Fashion and Textile Museum

Posted on | Leave a comment

Tommy nutter
Opening tomorrow at the Fashion and Textile Museum, London, is a new exhibition celebrating the work of Tommy Nutter, or as they call him 'The Rebel on the Row'. 

The Row they are referring to is, of course, Savile Row. Tommy Nutter is celebrated for opening up the exclusive world of bespoke tailoring in the 1960s. His impressive client list is hinted at by some of the names that are lending outfits for the exhibition, including Mick Jagger, Elton John, Justin de Villeneuve and Cilla Black, who was one of the financial backers of his business.

The Fashion and Textile Museum are always great at recreating period atmosphere and this display should be no different – they're teaming up with the tailor Timothy Everest, who worked with Nutter, and Simon Doonan, previously behind some of Nutters striking window displays, on the show.  

The exhibition runs until 22 October.
