The Handball Spezial was designed in 1979 for West German handball players: a rubber sole that gripped the court without marking it, a suede T-toe reinforcement, and a last designed for changes of direction. It remained archived until Gary Aspden brought it back in 2014 as the centrepiece of the adidas Spezial line, the collection that connects German sporting heritage with British casual style.
Black covers the suede upper and makes this model its most understated version, while Wonder Quartz—a light, warm shade between bone and pale pink—appears on the three stripes and details. The SPEZIAL text remains printed on the side, and the gum sole completes the look underneath, as the model has done since 1979.
The Spezial is one of the hardest-to-find models in the adidas catalogue when it comes to sizing. At Next Step, you get them 100% new and authentic, with a 14-day return period from receipt and fast shipping to Spain and across Europe.
Black with a light accent goes with everything: denim, grey, cream or burgundy. The gum sole adds a warm touch that keeps the outfit from feeling cold. Discover more models in Adidas at Next Step.
