British and Australian slang, usually humorous, meaning brand spanking new — completely fresh, unused, and straight out of the box. It's a cheerful compression of the fuller phrase, often deployed with a bit of irony or enthusiasm. You're just as likely to hear it applied to a pair of trainers as to a brand-new car. The humour partly comes from the fact that 'spankers' sounds slightly absurd on its own.
He rolled up to the pitch in brand spankers boots that clearly hadn't seen a single training session yet.
