The shoe collection consists of seven silhouettes. The Moscrop 2 SPZL is a revised version of the Moscrop SPZL from 2022.

It comes in a light gray shade with a change in the outer material that is reminiscent of the Argentinean adidas Infinity.

Another SPEZIAL classic that returns is the winter-ready Hiaven SPZL in a monochrome black color palette with an Adi-Tex membrane.

The Hiaven SPZL is inspired by a training shoe from the 1970s, which was originally manufactured in Eastern Europe and features decorative stitching.

The Samba Deco SPZL is available in two colors: In black and green as an homage to a soccer boot from the 1980s and in brown and white as a reminder of an original color scheme from the seventies.

The Lawkholme SPZL deconstructs the aesthetics of running shoes from the eighties, similar to the old adidas Zaza, through subtle branding and a neutral color palette.
