Another Adidas Man Cave Update! New trainers, jackets, & something a bit different! Keep it Spezial!

So not many of you who watch this channel will know this but i do have another passion which i have not shared with you. I'm sure the screenshot of this video will have already given what this other passion is! Ever since i was a young lad growing up in Yorkshire, Adidas has always been the brand & my love for it has never wavered. Whether it was running about in a pair of Samba in the school playground kicking a tennis ball, or on the grass playing football wearing a pair of Copa Mundial, or even sporting a pair of Gazelle on a Friday night for the disco. Adidas has never been far away! Having sold my collection the first time round back in 2017, you could say i have once again been bitten by the three stripe bug. In fact that would an understatement!
Amongst an army of blue boxes consisting of trainers i have also entered the world of vintage bags and bought several over the last few months. Im more than happy to show this ever growing collection in more detail if people wish.
My main focus within the Adidas brand since i began collecting again however is the Spezial range. Ever since its first drop in Oct 2014 the Spezial line has grown and grown in popularity. The brain child of Adidas Spezial is three stripe die hard Gary Aspden.
Aspden was the man behind the Adidas Spezial exhibition in Manchester in 2014. A celebration of all things adidas with over 600 pairs of collaborations, one-offs and rarities sourced from all over the world and from famous Adidas collectors. Adidas trainers from the collections of Aspden himself and other famous collectors such as Noel Gallagher, Ian Brown and Robert Brooks were used.
Ever since then the Spezial line has grown and grown with seasonal releases twice a year of both footwear and clothing. A lot of the Spezial trainer releases are a nod or tribute to previous releases over the decades. And the clothing influenced by a lot of the casual terrace wear back in the 70's, 80's or 90's. Most recently as the Spezial line has grown in popularity there have been trainer or clothing collaborations with both Liam & Noel Gallagher, New Order, and Peter Saville amongst others. Plus many, many other celebrities from the music industry, acting, or sportsmen endorsing the Spezial line. You could say it has caught on quite well over the last 9 years!
Anyway here is a video of my Adidas trainer collection this time round since i began buying again last year. I do have some regrets from selling back in 2017 but im hoping that i can somehow get some of those grails back and discover some new favourites which i never managed to get first time round. I have already began that process!
Please feel free to comment and make any suggestions. I am really keen and interested to see what people are wanting and what makes fans of the three stripes tune in. More than happy to make videos of my collection and share the love of the three stripe!

Amazing collection unbelievable. But I can never find the new release of spezial stuff until it’s on eBay,so what’s the best place to go on to get stuff.thanks

[@IMFixIt]

Very impressive but I think the man room needs an extension to keep up with the collection.

[@YorkyThreeStripe]

@@IMFixIt Ha! You might be right yes 😂

[@MrBriso77]

Love the light mate.....quality bit of kit that.👍

[@YorkyThreeStripe]

Thanks mate very happy with it 👌🏻

[@samleejessop]

From a fellow Yorkshireman, this is mint. A lot of jackets I really need to go back and find and even more shoes I reckon. I think one of my first pickups was the Yellow ST11 jacket and I still love it now.

[@YorkyThreeStripe]

Glad you like mate! 🙌🏻 Yes a cracker of a jacket the ST11. I don’t wear it enough truth be told. Good luck in your search 👍🏻

[@vincent-lr6io]

[@dailysentiments2629]

[@YorkyThreeStripe]

I got mine on eBay. Also check other online sites. Maybe Vinted & the Spzl Facebook pages.

[@craigrigby8330]

Hello great collection bud 👍 I don't see the Lothertex their my favorite shoe I'm more into collecting the spezial clothes meself , great Channel all the best

[@YorkyThreeStripe]

Thanks Craig. They are in one of the boxes don't worry! A great trainer and definitely one of my fav SPZL releases as well mate 👌👌

[@miamiglia]

Also be nice to have little lights in those glass cabinets!! Were did you get them from ?

[@YorkyThreeStripe]

They were from ikea. And lights will be added worry not! ☺️

[@henrybeamish7742]

Great stuff, I'm curious to know what Facebook pages I've been missing out on? Have never really considered them for acquiring more pieces

[@YorkyThreeStripe]

There are several adidas pages on there Henry. The two Spezial ones are called Adidas Spezial Collectors Group, & the other is simply Adidas Spezial 👍🏻

[@henrybeamish7742]

@@YorkyThreeStripe Thanks! Have actually been pending on the Adidas Spezial Collectors group for a few months, I'm gonna try requesting again

[@henrybeamish7742]

If you know anyone that can get my request noticed that would be awesome, no worries if not

[@YorkyThreeStripe]

@@henrybeamish7742 Ok I will message one of the admin on there mate. Hope to see you on there soon pal

[@miamiglia]

Atm is a good one to get onto 👌

[@markrothwell4193]

Great collection mate , I'm thinking of changing my collection to just SPZl

[@YorkyThreeStripe]

Yes it’s definitely the way I’m going mate. Just so much to collect haven’t got the time nor the funds to get much else 😂

[@Lotrhome154]

Hi mate I seem a few eBay resellers who have SPZL only as there listings. A few hundred items. How do they get them for so cheap and able to still sell them for a reasonable price? Is there a website I’m missing out on? I’ve been buying on the drops but the prices are not cheap that way

[@miamiglia]

Great vid ! I’d like to see an up close of the cote 👍

[@YorkyThreeStripe]

Yes sure I’ll do that in my next video my friend 👍🏻

[@markgreet3543]

Sorry meant adidas flight.

[@kevintaylor4560]

Cant c a lowthertex spzl in ur collection a must have,for me

[@apopense]

Love it! Where did you get the spezial led light?

[@YorkyThreeStripe]

Thanks! It was actually bought from a guy on one of the adidas Facebook pages but I believe they can be bought off a chap selling them over on instagram. I couldn’t tell you his name though sorry.

[@reesyo71]

Wicked video, it would be good to see some clothing

[@YorkyThreeStripe]

Thanks for the feedback mate. I will make some over the coming weeks 👍🏻

[@allanclarke3477]

Nice collection bud. You gonna pop the tags and wear or are they destined to stay on the shelve? I like to wear but can also see the beauty in keeping brand new.

[@YorkyThreeStripe]

I do both mate. Have some scarce pairs that I will never pop the tags on, but plenty that I wear or intend to at some point 👍🏻

[@michaelburnett7809]

Definitely for wearing imo but if lucky enough to get a spare pair, hats 🧢 off

[@kevintaylor4560]

Ave got lights pall link us up

[@O1NTM3NT]

Is they a adidas spezeil shop eny where where we can just go and buy instead of messing around on the internet and paying silly prices for simple trainers and other items
