The adidas Handball Spezial has a rich history dating back to 1979, originally designed for the sport of handball. Staying true to its roots, the silhouette maintains the same high-quality, durable construction with classic details like the reinforced heel panel, high-traction gum sole, and iconic T-toe design—features that were built to withstand the fast-paced, physical demands of the game. Today, those same durable elements continue to endure, making these shoes perfect for modern moves while retaining the legacy of their original purpose. With a regular fit, suede and nylon upper, and synthetic lining, the Handball Spezial delivers both comfort and style.
