How does the Handball Top fit compared with the Samba?

It fits similar to the Samba in length but has a roomier, more padded upper and a higher collar. Wide-footed wearers often size up half a size.

Is the Handball Top good for actual handball?

No. It is a lifestyle reissue with a cushioned rubber outsole, not a modern court shoe with lateral support and grip for play.

What is the difference between the Handball Top and the Handball Spezial?

The Top has a higher-cut, more padded collar and a chunkier build. The Spezial is lower and slimmer, closer to the original indoor shoe.

Is the upper real leather?

Yes. The upper mixes genuine leather and suede, with a textile lining and a rubber outsole.

Are they breathable enough for summer?

The perforated panels help, but the leather and suede build runs warmer than mesh sneakers. They are best for spring, summer and fall casual wear.

One pair of shoes with the laces already fitted. No extra laces or dust bag are included.

About the adidas Originals Handball Top

The Handball Top is an adidas Originals reissue of a 1970s indoor handball trainer, rebuilt as a lifestyle sneaker with a leather and suede upper, perforated details and a gum-style rubber outsole. It sits alongside the Samba, Gazelle and Handball Spezial in adidas's retro terrace lineup, but with a chunkier, more padded build and a higher-cut collar than the Spezial. Owners rate it highly for its soft leather, comfortable cushioning and clean looks. It suits people who want a retro court shoe that works with jeans and casual outfits rather than a performance court shoe.
