The colourway and naming of the Elland SPZL gives a nod to Elland Road and Leeds United with a serial code inside the shoe uses a key date in the club’s history. During the process of developing the shoe, it was discovered (after the second sample round) that adidas football were finalising a deal to become the Leeds United kit supplier so a decision was made to hold back the release of the Elland SPZL to coincide with and further amplify this momentous occasion.
The recent (and long-awaited) promotion of Leeds United to the Premier League has further added a sense of celebration to the timing of the Elland SPZL release.
