Adidas Handball Spezial 'Core Black & Bright Blue' Black Suede Upper, White 3-Stripes, White Leather Collar, Bright Blue Round Laces, Blue SPEZIAL Lettering & Gum Rubber Outsole Bold Heritage Handball Lifestyle Sneakers
Adidas Handball Spezial 'Core Black & Bright Blue'
Classic architecture, electric accent — the Adidas Handball Spezial in 'Core Black & Bright Blue' takes one of the most beloved silhouettes in the adidas Originals heritage archive and injects it with a single, perfectly chosen burst of electric colour. The deep core black suede upper and crisp white 3-Stripes form the timeless Spezial foundation — understated, refined, and endlessly wearable. Then come the bright blue round laces and the matching bright blue 'SPEZIAL' lettering on the side panel: a vivid cyan-toned accent that transforms the classic black-and-white construction into something immediately more dynamic, more contemporary, and more striking. The warm gum outsole completes the picture with the amber-toned sole that has always been one of the Spezial’s most distinctive and beloved finishing details. This is the Spezial for those who want the heritage and the attitude in equal measure.
- Colorway: Core Black / Cloud White / Bright Blue (Cyan) / Gum
- Silhouette: Adidas Handball Spezial — the iconic low-profile handball court sneaker first introduced in the 1970s and one of the most beloved and consistently popular models in the adidas Originals heritage archive; distinguished by its slim, clean low-top silhouette, premium suede construction, narrow profile, and the 'SPEZIAL' lettering on the side panel; in this black-and-bright-blue edition, the Spezial takes on a more energetic, street-ready character while retaining every element of its heritage handball authenticity
- Upper: Core black premium suede upper — a deep, rich matte black suede that forms the main body of the upper with the soft, tactile texture that is the hallmark of the finest Spezial constructions; white leather 3-Stripes on the black suede side panel — the iconic adidas heritage stripe in bright white leather, delivering maximum black-and-white contrast that anchors the design before the bright blue accent introduces its electric energy; bright blue / cyan round laces — the defining accent element of this colorway; vivid, saturated bright blue round laces that thread through the all-black upper with a high-voltage pop of electric colour, transforming the silhouette’s conventional character into something more bold and contemporary
- Signature Details: White leather padded collar and ankle surround — a clean white leather collar trim at the ankle opening that adds a premium two-tone contrast detail at the top of the black suede upper; bright blue 'SPEZIAL' lettering and Trefoil on the side panel — the model name and Trefoil logo rendered in the same vivid bright blue as the laces, creating a unified cyan accent story across both the lacing system and the side panel branding; adidas Originals circular woven tongue label
- Branding: adidas Originals circular woven tongue label; bright blue 'SPEZIAL' lettering and adidas Trefoil on the side panel; adidas Originals branding on the insole; adidas wordmark on the outsole; white 3-Stripes branding throughout
- Midsole: Low-profile gum cupsole midsole — a thin, flat, court-derived midsole profile in warm amber gum rubber that gives the Spezial its characteristically slim, close-to-the-ground silhouette; the warm gum tone creates a beautiful contrast beneath the all-black upper and adds the vintage, premium finishing touch that the Spezial is known for
- Outsole: Gum rubber outsole with classic handball court multi-directional traction pattern — the warm amber gum sole is one of the Spezial’s most iconic and beloved design elements, providing a retro, premium visual finish and reliable grip on any surface; the adidas Originals wordmark is embossed on the side wall of the gum sole unit
Available in a full range of US and EU sizes. A core black suede Handball Spezial with white leather 3-Stripes, white leather collar, bright blue round laces, blue SPEZIAL side lettering and warm gum rubber outsole — the most energetic and visually striking black Spezial colorway for fans of bold accent colour on heritage silhouettes, black-and-cyan colour contrasts, premium suede handball construction, and the iconic gum sole that has always defined the Spezial’s premium character.
