The [adidas Spezial](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/originals-newcastle) collection that recently launched marks the brand's second drop of the season in accordance to the Fall/Winter 2020 time. The range features a selection of apparel and footwear that is made alongside British band New Order.

It is a legendary band for Manchester-based brand [Factory Records](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/barrow-street-loft) as well as the notable [Hacienda](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/km-extravirgin-milk-chocolate-winter-spice) nightclub, making it one of the most influential bands from the United Kingdom. Every item in the capsule celebrates the aesthetics of the band. All of the pieces are detailed with a graphic that is the repeated three clock New Order "Tour" visual used during their live performances. All of the products in the collection are also rounded off with a co-branded sign off.
