The Spezial boat has come in once again, this time all a mix of trainers and clothes from the recent SS26 collection, as well as a restock of one pair from AW25. The trainers will be familiar to most as we've stocked them all previously, but all three clothing items are new. Both colours of the very seasonally relevant Hudswell Shorts have been added, alongside the less relevant Longridge Coat.

A trio of footwear from SS26 SPZL

For the first time ever, we were able to stock the entire footwear collection from SS26 Spezial on the day it was released, back in late April. Most pairs were sold very quickly, but we've managed to get most of them in again since then. This week we've added plenty of new availability for the Longridge SPZL, a new design of vintage running trainer loosely based on the adidas Madison.

Arguably the most popular trainer in the whole collection was actually a leisure shoe, and one that we've seen before. The suede version of the Punstock went down a treat, which isn't a surprise given the excellent choice of light beige to go with the dark brown gum midsole.

Two darker pairs have also been restocked, which are the Mendocino SPZL and the Samoa II SPZL from last year's collection. The Mendocino have taken inspiration from the Spezial classic adidas Topanga, with an added feature of a rubber textured toe-box to prevent wear and tear.

A jacket to go with your Longridge SPZL

It's a big day for Longridge as not only has the trainer been restocked, but the jacket with the same name has been added to the site for the first time. The design is classic Spezial, with plenty of pockets, a removeable hood, scattered Spezial branding and of course a very big fitting so please pay attention to the size information before buying.

And finally.. it's shorts weather

To celebrate some slightly warmer weather and maybe a potential holiday, we've added both colours of the Hudswell SPZL Shorts. The Hudswell are a bit different to all the other Spezial short designs, as these are more like swimming trunks. The waist is stretchy and there's a functioning drawstring so the sizing is quite flexible.
