- Today's podcast episode features another casual clothing and Adidas enthusiast, Del Cleveland. Del was born in 1966 at Queen's Charlotte Hospital in Hammersmith, and later overcame a hearing impairment through an unexpected dive off a diving board that cleared his ears. From his early days as a skinhead immersed in ska music to his transition to casual fashion, Del's love for Adidas was ignited at the age of 10 when he acquired his first pair of Adidas Kick. (There is a common theme occurring here that people are really into the Kick!) Del shares insights into the interconnectedness of football, fashion, and music in casual culture, highlighting his eclectic style blending mod casual and skinhead influences.
Discover Del's advocacy for mental health awareness, his role as a mental health first aider, and his remarkable collection of Adidas sneakers housed in what can only be described as an Adidas Mancave. With 51k followers on Instagram, Del has become a prominent figure in the Adidas community, regularly attending music and fashion events. Don't miss his upcoming appearances in the music video "Stone Island" by Chris and Reece and the film "Marching Powder" starring Danny Dyer.
Learn how Del's health changes coincided with the launch of Adidas Spezial in 2014, leading him to enhance his passion for collecting trainers instead of cigarettes. Del's commitment to the Adidas Spezial collection has seen him attend virtually every launch since its inception, showcasing the strong sense of community among Adidas trainer fans. Nice one to Del for coming on!

I’m 59 and I can’t remember using the term ‘casual’ I think we called them soul boys. I’m originally from Hammersmith and Fulham.
Casual was a southern word from what I remember
