Adidas Spezial Manchester Recap Pt I

Here the final recap of this great exhibition opening:

On October 24, 2014, the adidas SPEZIAL exhibition opened it’s doors 
in Manchester. Collectors, fans and stars like Happy Mondays frontman 
Shaun Ryder, Stone Roses bassist Mani, musician Bill Ryder Jones and 
actor/electronic artist Goldie, came to see the impressive setup. 

Curated by Gary Aspden, the presentation includes over 800 shoes from 
various collectors, spanning the late ‘60s to the advent of Boost 
technology.
Within the exhibition are areas displaying collaborations with fashion 
and musical heroes; and full runs of the fabled Equipment era. 
Additionally, there are some superb trainers found by Aspden and 
friends on a recent excursion to Argentina. 
Because I shot too many pictures to put in one post, part two will 
follow tomorrow

adidas Originals EQT - the best of adidas: part 1

In March 1991, adidas launched adidas Equipment — a collection of shoes 
and sportswear that covered every discipline: from running to football to 
volleyball.With new colours, a new logo and an approach to design inspired 
by Adi Dassler's original approach, the collection had a simple slogan: 
"The best of adidas."

Part 1 of Will Robson-Scott's short film — created to coincide with the 
rerelease of the cult Equipment Guidance silhouette from 1993 on 
Saturday, 23 August 2014 — visits Portland to talk to industry legend and 
adidas Equipment creative director Peter Moore.
This first part takes trips to NYC to talk EQT with Jesse Villanueva of ALIFE,
Herzogenaurach for a conversation with adidas Originals design director Paul 
Mittleman and Tokyo to meet with Shigeyuki Kunii from mita sneakers and 
Blackburn for a chat with world known adidas connoisseur and collector 
Gary Aspden.
