Menswear Collaborations To Look Out For This Autumn
Adidas Originals x Spezial
Adidas Originals has put collaborative powers in the hands of superfan Gary Aspden once again, bringing sportswear fans a luxe take on some classic casual pieces.
For autumn/winter 2015, Aspden aims to reclaim the once loved tracksuit, updating the sportswear staple with pared-back details, and there’s barely a stripe in sight. Navy blue and camel are the only two colors used in the collection, carried across trainers, polo shirts, outerwear and sporting separate.
With such minimal detailing, shoppers might have to look twice to realize it’s an Adidas release.
Available at adidas now, with a later drop arriving September 26.
Bait x Brooks Regent
American streetwear retailer Bait has tapped running shoe brand Brooks to produce trainers inspired by the superstition of the lucky rabbit’s foot. As a result, the style is decked out with panels of soft rabbit grey and pink suede, complete with a chunky rubber sole and debossed branding to the tongue.
The materials used – pigskin suede, box leather and nubuck – mean these trainers will have no problem sliding into the premium trainer market when released this month. And the mid-range price point of £109 should mean footwear fans have no problem snapping up a pair, providing they hop to it before they sell out.
Available at Hanon from September 26.
Aspinal x Crème De La Mer
The daily grooming routine has never looked so luxurious, thanks to this collision of high-end brands. Leather goods label Aspinal of London has worked with Crème de la Mer to create the ultimate wash bag and toiletries combination, for the gent who wants to look his very best on business trips or weekends away.
This exciting partnership may not come cheap – priced at £300 for a set – but inside the moss green leather bag is a moisturizer, eye cream, cleansing gel and toning lotion, all in airplane-safe sizes. Meaning there’ll be no excuses for looking tired after a long flight ever again.
