We've got a mix of standard general release models and clothing from the recent SPZL F.C collection, which was nearly complete but has now been finished off with the addition of SPZL F.C X Arsenal. Our two new general release pairs are identical in design but in different colourways, and both feature a removeable fold-over tongue. Finally, there's a restock of the popular Japan OG in the classic white and black colourway.

Lift-Tongue Spezials

We've seen this concept most prominently with the Samba OG and Wales Bonner ranges, but now the 'lift-tongue' design has moved on to the Handball Spezial as well. Thankfully this newer design is adaptable because the tongue flap is stuck on the underside of the tongue with velcro, meaning it can be removed and worn as a more regular Handball Spezial.

As the tongue flap is removeable, it means not only can you remove it all together but change the colour. For both the blue and red model we've got in stock they come with alternative flaps to match the stripe colour instead of the upper. Hairy suede has also been used on the eyestay and toe-box overlays.

Completing the SPZL F.C Clothing

After stocking the full SPZL F.C collection for Manchester United and Liverpool, one club might have been feeling a bit forgotten about. Hopefully we're making up for it now, by not only bringing every clothing item from the Arsenal collection, but also by taking a little off the standard prices as well.

For each club, the collection features the exact same clothing line-up: a polo shirt, a vintage style football shirt and a full vintage style tracksuit. Each club also had one item of footwear, which for Arsenal was the ZX 7300. This model is sadly not included in our collection for now.

And finally.. a Japanese restock

Our final news to bring is a full restock of a classic Japan OG colourway, which has a white leather upper and black stripes. This style of Japan has the smooth leather feel compared to the tumbled 'W' version. Both have the same thin gum midsole which is a light shade for this shoe.
