Both the video and lookbook combine adidas SPEZIAL’s legitimate connection to this UK subculture with a modern-day summer season aesthetic. This latest effort is a nostalgic, tangible throwback, re-counting two euphoric summer seasons spent in Ibiza in ‘88 and ’89, commonly known as the Second Summer of Love. adidas Originals was without doubt one of the biggest brands during these times, with Adidas runners being the go-to shoe for all-night ravers.
