adidas Originals New York SPZL Carlos – Release Info
The ADIDAS ORIGINALS NEW YORK SPZL CARLOS pays homage to the store owner of the now-notorious location in Argentina.
Last year, Gary Aspden put together a team of fellow Three Stripe connoisseurs and took them on a trip to Buenos Aires to check out a shop that was stacked high with vintage ADIDAS products, which you can learn more about here. When they found the shop in the back streets, the crew met shopkeeper CARLOS RUIZ, who has dedicated his life to his shop for the last 34 years. In order to give something back to CARLOS, after he kindly supplied with them with some vintage gems, ADIDAS have created this special make-up of the NEW YORK. A predominantly pale blue upper is punctuated by light grey accents, which gives the shoe a nice vintage aesthetic. The tongue features a Stan Smith style tongue label, but with the face of CARLOS RUIZ instead. Down below is a white midsole with Dellinger webbing to continue the retro vibe, whilst a black outsole rounds things off. The CARLOS will be accompanied by another colourway, which sports a tonal grey upper, with white accents to lighten things up a little. It features more traditional details, including the original tongue label and NEW YORK branding on the Three Stripes. It doesn’t end there though, as there will be a duo of t-shirts released alongside the shoes. It’s nice to see ADIDAS give something back to one of their life long fans… We reckon CARLOS will be very happy with these!
The ADIDAS ORIGINALS NEW YORK SPZL CARLOS, along with the rest of the collection, is set to drop on THURSDAY 3 DECEMBER and will be available via the RELEASE PAGE, which you can link to below.
