Back in April, adidas teamed up with Manchester United and Peter Saville for a rare three-way collection that was inspired by the legendary graphic designer's Joy Division artwork. Now, five months later, the Three Stripes has revealed that it'll be reuniting with Saville for the Peter Saville x adidas Pulsebeat SPZL "Manchester United." A special collaboration that ties together one of the German giant's most iconic silhouettes with the Mancunian art director's best pieces, this will no doubt be a future classic.
Taking the Gary Aspden shoe to another level, Saville's take on the Pulsebeat is outfitted in a core black suede, while "carbon leather features on the serrated Three Stripes, lacing system, and heel badge. 3M accents feature on the flat laces for a look that is sure to turn heads, while the famed SPZL logo is printed around the back. Of course, you can't talk about this sneaker without mentioning the tongue. Done up in the artwork from Joy Division's first studio album, Unknown Pleasures, this is regarded by many as one of the most iconic covers in history. First revealed 43 years ago back in 1979, it's inspired by a series of pulsar radio waves that are stacked on top of one another to resemble a vast mountain range.
More than just a "Triple Black" sneaker, the Peter Saville x adidas Pulsebeat SPZL Manchester United is scheduled to release on September 26th, 2022 in men's sizes for $150. Set to drop at adidas, the CONFIRMED app, and a select few retailers online and in-store, this is a must-own collaboration for both sneakerheads and music lovers.
