Adidas SPZL and C.P. Company Reunite for a Fall/Winter 2024 Collaboration

adidas SPZL and Italian sportswear icon C.P. Company have joined forces for a highly anticipated Fall/Winter 2024 collection, commemorating a decade of adidas SPZL’s reinterpretation of classic Three Stripes style. This collaboration, curated by SPZL’s Gary Aspden, combines C.P. Company’s rich heritage with SPZL’s distinct silhouettes, resulting in an innovative range of apparel, footwear, and accessories that reflects British, Italian, and German design influences. Aspden shared his thoughts on the collaboration, explaining, “The best collaborations, in my experience, are founded in genuine relationships. Working with C.P. Company again was a natural choice, built on trust and mutual respect. Together, we’ve created a modern collection that draws on the era when I first discovered C.P. Company, with a carefully curated color palette and styling.”

The collection merges both brands’ design identities, incorporating iconic C.P. Company elements—such as the British Sailor logo and the Mille Jacket branding—into SPZL’s signature pieces. Building on the successful partnership established in 2021 for C.P. Company’s 50th anniversary, this collaboration evolves both brands’ aesthetics while celebrating adidas SPZL’s milestone year. C.P. Company president Lorenzo Osti added, “For us at C.P. Company, it’s an honour to collaborate once more with adidas SPZL in the year of their 10th anniversary. This partnership celebrates everything we share as brands, as a community, and as people. Both of our brands have consistently held cultural relevance for so many, and Gary and I share the same values and vision for the world. It’s a natural and perfect match!”

The footwear selection in this collection brings a fresh interpretation of classic styles, with the Italia SPZL in Royal Blue making a comeback from the 2021 collaboration. The Wimberly SPZL, a modern take on the perforated ‘80s adidas Universal, features premium leather and suede, while the Helvellyn SPZL draws inspiration from adidas’ Nepal mid-top outdoor model. Rounding out the footwear lineup, the SL83 SPZL, based on the classic SL82, and the Manchester SPZL, updated with premium materials, bring additional nods to vintage Three Stripes aesthetics.

The apparel lineup showcases C.P. Company’s renowned technical expertise, delivering standout outerwear like the Flatt Nylon Long Down Jacket and Flying Jacket. Crafted from Flatt Nylon with a light resin finish, these jackets feature front pockets, embroidered logo patches, and C.P. Company’s signature Lens detail on the wrist. The Flying Jacket, inspired by classic aviation styles, features a faux fur-lined collar, blending rugged charm with luxurious detailing. Additional pieces include a corduroy track top and pants, pocket tees with Mille Jacket-inspired details, a half-zip knit incorporating the Mod Trefoil design from SPZL’s debut collection, and a British Sailor logo sweatshirt. Accessories such as a shoulder bag, caps, and gloves complete the look, adding versatile and functional touches to the collection.

To launch this collaboration, a campaign film was produced featuring a lineup of British cultural icons. Actor and musician Ashley Walters, award-winning actor Stephen Graham, music legend Goldie, and streetwear figures Robert Brooks and Toby Mclellan bring a bold authenticity to the project. Directed by Nick Griffiths and produced by &Son, with photography by Kevin Cummins, the film captures the essence of British streetwear culture and adidas SPZL’s deep connection to its roots.

The adidas SPZL x C.P. Company FW24 collection will be available on November 12, 2024, through adidas and C.P. Company’s official websites and select global retailers.
