Newcastle United fans are in for a treat as Adidas unveils a limited edition SPZL trainer and a retro-inspired apparel collection celebrating the club’s rich heritage. As part of its ongoing partnership with the Magpies, the global sportswear giant is set to release the exclusive range on October 16 — but fans will have to act fast, as stock is expected to sell out quickly.
Adidas and Newcastle: A Winning Partnership
Since reuniting with Adidas earlier this year, Newcastle United have seen a resurgence not only on the pitch but also in the club’s merchandising game. The partnership has brought in more revenue than previous deals and delivered a broader, more premium range of gear for fans to enjoy. Now, the collaboration is stepping up another level with the launch of the highly anticipated Spezial (SPZL) Collection.
SPZL Trainers: A Tribute in Black, White, and Gold
The highlight of the new release is a pair of Newcastle United-themed Adidas SPZL trainers. Featuring the brand’s iconic three white stripes on a sleek black upper, the trainers are detailed with gold “Newcastle United” text and the club crest, giving them a clean yet bold aesthetic. A classic gum sole ties the retro look together, making these a must-have for collectors and fans alike.
Retro-Inspired Apparel Set to Accompany the Footwear
While the full Spezial apparel lineup remains under wraps, previous releases hint at a strong retro influence. Expect to see classic styles such as hoodies, jackets, and T-shirts, likely incorporating vintage versions of the Newcastle crest and minimalist Three Stripes designs. The throwback vibe is part of what makes the SPZL line so popular among supporters of football heritage and fashion.
Part of a Multi-Club Launch on October 16
Newcastle isn’t the only club in the spotlight this week. Adidas will simultaneously release similar SPZL-themed collections for Celtic and Aston Villa, reflecting the brand’s continued commitment to blending football culture with streetwear style. The collections will be available in limited quantities via the Adidas website starting Thursday, October 16.
Collectors, Act Fast
Given the popularity of previous SPZL drops — including last year’s sold-out Leeds United collection — fans are advised to be ready as soon as the products go live. With limited stock available, these items are likely to become instant collector’s pieces.
