Adidas Handball Spezial: the 1979 indoor shoe that became a terrace icon

Adidas Spezial: from the handball court to the terraces

Introduced in 1979 as an indoor handball shoe, the Adidas Handball Spezial soon left the sports hall for the stands. In the 1980s, British football fans made it a cornerstone of terrace culture, alongside other Adidas suede classics. Since 2014, the Spezial line curated by Gary Aspden has carried that heritage forward. Today, the Handball Spezial is one of the most wanted Adidas trainers across Europe, worn by men and women alike as an effortless everyday shoe.

Collegiate Navy, Dark Brown, Aluminium: the Handball Spezial edit

The NOIRFONCE Adidas Spezial collection offers a wide range of colourways: Collegiate Navy, Dark Brown, Aluminium, Halo Blue, Bright Red, Carbon, Clear Sky or Wonder Clay, plus women's Wonder Silver, Black Pink, Powder Coral, Cloud White and the Giraffe and Cow prints. You will also find WTR models in Maroon, Tent Green or Khaki, the Handball Spezial x Harris Tweed, a Made In Germany version, the Spezial Loafer and the Lytham Spezial. The selection changes with every delivery.

Sizing and comfort: choosing your Adidas Spezial

The Handball Spezial combines a soft suede upper, leather Three Stripes and the famous gum rubber sole that once gripped indoor courts. Its slim, low profile holds the foot well. It generally fits true to size, although many people between sizes prefer going half a size up for a little more room. WTR versions add a finish designed for in-between seasons. Every product page shows the sizes genuinely in stock, updated in real time, so you can order with confidence.

How to wear Adidas Spezial trainers, men and women

Slim and retro, the Adidas Spezial works with straight-leg jeans, wide trousers, vintage track pants or shorts in summer. It also pairs with a long skirt, a dress or tailored trousers for a relaxed yet polished look. Collegiate Navy, Dark Brown or Carbon go with everything, while Bright Red, Halo Blue or Powder Coral add a hit of colour. The Harris Tweed and Loafer models offer a smarter take for the city, even for the office.
