Today we will take a look at two iconic versions of one of the most popular adidas models - Handball Spezial. We will compare the classic adidas Handball Spezial and their exclusive collaboration with the fashion brand Sporty & Rich. Get ready for a detailed look at the design, materials, and overall style of these two unique pairs.
Classic adidas Handball Spezial
The classic adidas Handball Spezial are an icon that has won the hearts of many sneakerheads around the world. Originally designed as indoor shoes for handball, these sneakers quickly became a must-have item due to their simple yet elegant design, TikTok popularity, and relatively high comfort (compared to classic sambas 💀, I still have sore heels to this day).
Design a Materials:
- Shoe upper: The classic upper is made from surprisingly good suede or regular leather.
- Sole: The rubber sole provides excellent traction on all surfaces, it hardly slips in indoor gyms, so if you forget your gym shoes for physical education, classic spezialy will support you.
- Colors: Classic, no "fuss". A few interesting colors can be found (which are usually sold out everywhere...)Adidas tactically reserves stunning color combinations for limited editions and collaborations.
Style: The minimalist and timeless design of these sneakers easily pairs with various outfits, whether it's a sporty or casual style.
Adidas Handball Spezial x Sporty & Rich
The collaboration between Adidas and the brand Sporty & Rich brings a new perspective on the classic Handball Spezial model in three different colors: Green, Pink and Brown. This collaboration combines the retro sports aesthetic of adidas with a modern, luxurious touch from Sporty & Rich.
Design a Materials:
- Shoe Upper: Very premium suede, really pleasant, but it will be very difficult to clean, we recommend buying special products for suede shoes. The colors are very bright, they directly demand attention.
- Details: Special logos, embroidered inscriptions, and unique color accents that give the sneakers an unusual appearance.
-
Sole: It retains the classic rubber sole, but for the green and brown variant, it adds a more transparent side to the sole, similar to the adidas gazelle indoor. I personally really like this detail; it creates the silhouette of a much lower shoe. This element does not occur in classic specials.
Style: This version is ideal for those looking for something exceptional and wanting to stand out. Each pair comes with round, light beige laces that are definitely worth having. Especially with the pink model. The combination of classic elements with modern details makes this model perfect for fashion enthusiasts.
Conclusion
Both models of adidas Handball Spezial have something to offer, whether you are looking for a classic piece or something unique from a limited edition. The classic version is timeless, affordable, and can easily be matched with any outfit, while the collaboration with Sporty & Rich brings a modern, luxurious twist to the beloved design, but creating a complete outfit may not be entirely straightforward.
