adidas Handball Spezial Black Grey Strata

The adidas Handball Spezial "Black Grey Strata" revisits a 1970s indoor court design in a tonal palette. Cow suede forms the base of the upper, while leather overlays and toe reinforcement in the signature T shape give it structure. Grey details sit against the suede, and gold Spezial lettering on the side adds a measured flash of colour next to the three stripes. Underneath, a gum rubber outsole brings a contrasting note.

Originally made for quick pivots on parquet floors, the model has since moved onto city pavements as a lifestyle trainer. Its low profile keeps the proportions slim. The restrained base works with both jeans and chinos, and a lace closure keeps the setup simple. Fit runs true to size, with adidas recommending your usual size. An understated choice for city wear, with the gum outsole adding a warm note underfoot.
