Blue Adidas Manchester Marine SPZL MRN

The blue with orange / red Spezials (Original 1/500 lookalikes - see the X-Anniversary Edition here) were, and still are a huge hit. Now, the more recent addition (30th November 2016) to the Manchester range that people were racing to get hold of were the Blue MRN Marine MRN Spezials (Adidas Spezial X Oi Polloi). Crazy story's were doing the rounds on various websites and social media hangouts of people queueing up for days to make sure they do not miss out and don't have to end up paying silly money from resellers on eBay. This was thought to be the case, but right now, they are not even that much to buy from resellers on eBay. You can pick up a pair pretty cheap.

Actually, talking about eBay, there is another story going around that the Marine Spezials were for sale on eBay (in hand) before the official store release. I suppose a pre-order isn't needed then. Looks like some individuals have got some good contacts and were able to get hold of them at around the same time they were put on sale on the high street.

Also, many die-hard fans who waited night and day to buy a pair were left disappointed when they were told they were now sold out. However, some lucky campers did manage to snag a pair. The Blue Originals MRN Marine Spezials are very nice. With various shades of blue suede, and with a black sole, they are true Manchester classics.

Needless to say, at the time of their release, these trainers were sold out in quick fashion. The only hope left was eBay, where the prices from most sellers were doubled, and even tripled. Grab yourself an early Birthday present. They are worth the purchase price. And now in 2018, they are much cheaper to get hold of than most of the other hyped pairs that are released in limited numbers.
