ADIDAS ‘ORIGINALS’ WITH SABLE & HIP
We gave the world an original, you gave us a thousand back.
HIP, adidas Originals & Sable would like to invite you as a guest to celebrate Sable as ‘ORIGINALS’ as
we come together on Thursday September 28th at Sable Studio, Leeds.
Sable is a multi-faceted creative studio and production company based in Leeds made up of
black graphic designers, DJs, sound engineers, set designers, directors, musicians and more. The
collective has gained a reputation for throwing some of the most progressive parties in the city – giving a
platform to local talent alongside the national and international DJs pushing the most exciting black
diasporic club sounds, both through Sable’s own programme and other local collectives.
Away from parties, Sable shoots films, takes photos, records audio, makes podcasts, hosts workshops
and curates programmes from its home in Leeds. All of Sable’s work points towards a social mission
aiming to lower the barriers to creative media for young (especially black) people in the city. Sable
provides free access to space and equipment as well as regular workshops and training programmes.
Thursday September 28th, 7pm-11pm

adidas Spezial x Liam Gallagher LG2
The LG2 was first seen within the SS22 SPZL collection and is a continuation of the original Spezial LG from FW19. The model blends archival inspirations from adidas‘ rich history making squash and indoor shoes.
The shoe takes on a functional nylon upper in a ‘Cream White’ tone, subtly contrasted with ‘Off White’ suede overlays. The colourway is recognised by striking ‘Collegiate Green’ details at the flock 3-Stripes and heel, moving away from the white tones used in the first two LG SPZL releases and also celebrating the classic adidas Country shoes. The style’s tooling includes an EVA die-cut midsole, asymmetrical toe guard and a rubber outsole. Finally, bespoke branding is seen through the iconic “Endorsed by Liam Gallagher” tongue graphic and a classic mod Trefoil on the heel.
The adidas Spezial x Liam Gallagher LG2 is online now and available in both our Leeds & Manchester stores.

New To HIP: Meanforme
Born in Manchester, Meanforme‘s mission is to create beautifully classic footwear using time-honoured methods that emphasise the upmost quality. Connecting with a long-established Portuguese shoe factory with roots dating back to 1938, whilst sourcing fine leather from famous tanneries all across the world, Meanforme’s aesthetic is truly timeless.
To highlight the launch of Meanforme and the Risedale shoe, this season at HIP we visited the label’s factory to see its craftsmanship first-hand. The factory is located in Felgueiras, a small town in the North of Portugal near Porto with an impressive history in the footwear industry, well-regarded as one of the key hubs of shoemaking in Europe.
Explore the launch of Meanforme with the label’s Risedale shoe at HIP online and in our Manchester store.
