adidas’ Eurocentric history means their best-selling ‘football’ products are designed for the pitch instead of the gridiron, and here’s another case where the standout American version of a sport will call to mind a different image than inspired the above pictured model. Handball here in the states is like a racquet sport played with just the hands, but the team variation is a long-established Olympic sport for which the adidas Originals Spezial was originally crafted. Like many of Three Stripes classic lowtops, the (Handball) Spezial has evolved into a casual standard, though this Craft Gold and orange pair is sure to stick out from the pack this summer. Click through to see more of this fiery suede and leather combo and grab yours at select retailers like Titolo.
