TLDR: With the A. Aspden SPZL, adidas brings back a minimalist court shoe as part of the new SPZL collection that is more than just a stylish sneaker. The silhouette is reminiscent of classics such as the Stan Smith and is based on the shape of the adidas Hawaii. Particularly emotional: the signature of Gary Aspden's late father adorns the shoe - a personal homage with a lot of heritage. With the SPZL collection for spring/summer 2025, adidas Originals once again shows how sports history, personal stories and modern design can be combined to create a coherent overall package. The new adidas A. Aspden SPZL is a prime example of this interplay. The silhouette is based on the no-frills court shoes of the 70s and 80s.
The upper material in ‘Core White’ is strongly reminiscent of the iconic Stan Smith, complemented by fine leather details and a particularly clean finish. The sole comes from the adidas Hawaii, a rather rare model from the archive that gives the shoe an authentic retro touch. Perhaps the most moving detail is the original signature of Gary Aspden's father, which can be seen as a laser engraving on the sidewall - an emotional tribute to the late craftsman.
With the A. Aspden SPZL, adidas not only brings another highlight of the SPZL series to the foot, but also a piece of brand history and family memory.
