The vintage Handball silhouette gets reimagined with modern touches to create a very Spezial trainer. Featuring velvety suede uppers, ADIPRENE+ cushioning and Torsion system. These shoes by adidas Originals have a low-profile design, lace-up fastening, padded cuff, signature adidas branding, and a gum sole with textured grip tread. The timeless nature and thick gum sole of adidas' Handball Spezial sneakers are what catapulted them to cult status. First launched in 1979 as a functional sports trainer, the Handball Spezial's flat sole is designed for quick traction on handball courts. Today, the archival adidas sneaker has naturally transitioned into the modern wardrobe - loved for its flat sole, simple silhouette and '70s colour combinations on the suede uppers and serrated 3-stripes. Suede Upper, Textile Lining, Lace Closure, Rubber Outsole, Product Code: JR0850.
