A sleek revival of indoor sport heritage.
The adidas Handball Spezial reintroduces the classic 1970s court shoe in an all-black, minimalist guise—showcasing timeless style transformed for modern-day wear.

Construction and design
This iteration builds on the Spezial’s core DNA, featuring a premium suede upper in deep black complemented by carbon-toned leather overlays. The low-profile silhouette, T-shaped toe overlay, and subtle reflective details reinforce its understated aesthetic. Completing the look, a crisp gum rubber outsole anchors the heritage design with functional contrast and vintage appeal.

Comfort and performance
Originally engineered for indoor play, this model remains lightweight and comfortable for casual use. The soft suede upper and slim gum sole offer reliable support and flexible traction—perfect for everyday street styling or low-key activity.

Release
Released globally in August, 2025, the adidas Originals Handball Spezial 'Core Black Carbon' debuted initially in the UK and Europe, priced around £90/110€.
