Our take on the adidas Originals Handball Spezial Trainers

The Handball Spezial is adidas' low-profile indoor court shoe from 1979, now a retro lifestyle trainer. This version has a pigskin nubuck upper in navy with Clear Sky stripes, gold 'Spezial' lettering and a gum rubber outsole. An Ortholite sockliner adds cushioning underfoot. It suits people who want a slim, flat terrace-style sneaker that works with jeans and casual wear. Against rivals like the Samba and Gazelle, it has a softer suede-like upper and a grippier gum sole, but less arch support for long days on foot.

Questions and answers

How does the Handball Spezial fit compared with the Samba?
It fits similarly slim but has a softer upper and a slightly roomier toe box than the Samba. People with wide feet often go up half a size.
Is it good for standing or walking all day?
It is fine for short errands and casual days. The sole is flat and firm with little arch support, so it is not the best pick for long shifts or hikes.
What is the upper made of?
Pigskin nubuck, a soft suede-like leather. It marks and stains more easily than smooth leather, so treat it before wearing in wet weather.
What is in the box?
One pair of trainers in the original adidas box with tags.
How does it differ from the Gazelle?
The Spezial has a gum rubber outsole and a lower, slimmer profile, while the Gazelle has a thicker sole and a more padded collar.
Can I wear it for indoor sports?
It was designed as a handball shoe, but the current version is built as a lifestyle trainer. The gum sole grips indoor floors, yet cushioning is limited for sport.
Where is the adidas Originals Handball Spezial Trainers cheapest?
At AL Brands, for $77.80, as of our latest check.
