First released in 1979, the adidas Handball Spezial is one of the most iconic sneaker models ever created. The sneaker traces its origin to the indoor handball courts of Germany, and became synonymous with indoor sports over the decades. Fast forward to 2024, and the model has seen a resurgance as a classic lifestyle sneaker fit for every day wear.
As sneaker enthusiasts looked for nostalgic and affordable sneakers in the mid 2020s, the adidas Samba became a go to classic for many reliving their days playing indoor soccer. Shortly after the Samba emergence, the Handball Spezial became a new favorite as a model similar to the Samba, yet providing its own unique shape. Top trading colorways of the Handball Spezial on StockX include the Navy Gum, Aluminum Core Black, and Bright Red Clear Pink. Collaborations such as the Inter Miami colorway are also among the most sought after versions of the Handball Spezial.
We love the Handball Spezial due to its rich history and classic styling. This is truly a sneaker you cannot go wrong with, no matter the colorway you choose or the occasion at hand.
