Full details

The adidas Originals Handball Spezial Loafer is designed for the adult female seeking a sophisticated yet comfortable casual shoe. Its key benefit lies in transforming a classic athletic silhouette into a refined loafer, perfect for leisurely outings. A potential caveat is that suede requires specific care to maintain its appearance. This shoe features an 'Aurora Cocoa' suede upper, a signature saddle strap, tonal serrated 3-Stripes, and a metallic gold Trefoil signet, all built upon a comfortable and grippy curvilinear gum outsole.
