Designed in 1979 for West German handball players, the Handball Spezial was revived from the archive by Gary Aspden in 2014 to become the core of the adidas Spezial line: a collection for connoisseurs that connects sports heritage with British casual style and the Northern European club scene. The Aluminum/Core Black is its most sober and elegant colorway.
The silhouette is unmistakable: low profile, suede T-toe, Three Stripes in leather, gum rubber sole, and the text “SPEZIAL” on the side. The Aluminum colorway — a soft bluish gray — with the heel and details in Core Black creates a quiet contrast that speaks only to those who know how to listen.
The Handball Spezial is the most authentic model in the adidas catalog. At Next Step we have it 100% new and original. With a 14-day return policy from receipt. Fast shipping to Spain and all of Europe.
The Aluminum gray is the most versatile of all the Spezial: it works with black, navy blue, white, and earth tones. For those who prefer history over hype. Discover more Handball Spezial colorways in our Adidas Handball Spezial collection at Next Step.
