To mark its 25th anniversary,size?teams up withBILLY's Tokyoandadidasfor a commemorative three-way collaboration dubbed the'Sapporo Collection.'The collection reinterprets the classicadidas Munchensilhouette, with each partner lending their own creative direction to the design.
While presented as a joint effort, each shoe is designed independently, reflecting the unique vision of its creator. BILLY'S Tokyo draws inspiration from whiskey barrels — a nod to the UK's signature liquor, which has been widely embraced by Japanese culture. As well as inspiration from brick buildings the pair features a rich brown upper with textured leathers and suede accents, evoking the warmth and rugged elegance of aged whiskey. A Japanese engraving of 'Sapporo' on the side adds a cultural and artisanal touch. The mix of rough and smooth textures mirrors whiskey's profile — bold and pungent, yet refined.
In contrast, size? takes a more symbolic approach, referencing the 2002 World Cup match at Sapporo Dome, where David Beckham's legendary goal secured a win for England over Argentina. This moment of cultural crossover inspires the shoe's teal and red colorway; similarly, it features the Japanese engraving of 'Sapporo' in gold.
