Not to be confused with the adidas SPZL range, the Handball Spezial itself was added to the adidas catalogue in 1979. Originally designed for elite handball players (vibes) the shoe took on a second life as a casual icon even in its heyday. Forty-something years later and the Handball Spezial still lives-on, proving that shoe were definitely better back in the day. This Made in Germany edition comes in a smooth premium leather upper, finished with archival Trefoil branding on the tongue. - Suede upper - Leather lining - Archival Trefoil tongue branding - Gum outsole - Includes second set of laces - Made in Germany - SKU: IH6635
