One of the best-selling sneakers of 2024 for adidas, the Handball Spezial, is back in two muted and neutral colorways. In what has been a stellar year for the brand and the model itself, including collaborative efforts with Sporty & Rich and Solebox, a toned-down pack will see out the year and bring in the new.
Both pairs in this collection feature identical high-quality materials and meticulous construction, showcasing The Brand With The Three Stripes' commitment to craftsmanship. Smooth suede is used for the base of the uppers, lending a luxurious texture and a sense of refinement to the sneakers. This design is further elevated with a fluffy suede for the heel panel and T-toe box, adding depth and meaning to the aesthetic changes depending on how the light catches them.
The rear heel tabs and Three Stripes branding along the midfoot are crafted from leather, completing the seamless blend. This traditional material choice not only enhances the prestige of the shoes but also underscores their durability and comfort, making them suitable for everyday wear.
First up in this women's exclusive adidas Handball Spezial Pack is a tonal masterpiece featuring an aluminum and wonder beige palette. This design leans into subtle sophistication, with its harmonious blend of soft shades creating an effortlessly chic look. Ideal for those who appreciate minimalist fashion, this pair is versatile enough to complement a wide array of outfits, from casual denim ensembles to tailored separates. The tonal approach allows the premium materials and silhouette to shine, emphasizing the clean lines and heritage-inspired profile.
In contrast, the second pair introduces a more dynamic aesthetic with a colorful Silver Green upper accented by contrasting silver pebble tones. This color blocking adds a playful yet refined edge to the collection with visual interest, ensuring the sneaker remains eye-catching without being overwhelming. Both pairs are finished with woven tongue tags, dark gum-colored rubber soles, and the Spezial moniker appearing on the sides in gold foil.
The adidas Handball Spezial in Silver Green and Alumium are set to release on December 1, 2024, via adidas and select retailers online and in-store. Coming in women's sizing, retail is $110.
