The Handball Spezial LT Pack Might Just be the Hardest adidas Collection of 2025

The Spezial is back — and this time, it’s going long. Releasing officially on Tuesday 12th August, the adidas Handball Spezial LT Pack delivers a fresh spin on the late-‘70s classic, reimagined with a retro oversized tongue.

The LT stands for Long Tongue, a nod to classic football silhouettes and archive Spezial pairs. While the base remains true to the original, the tongue  adding a bit more edge to the classic silhouette.

All three stick to clean, easy-to-wear tones — but it’s the Crème/Leopard pair that this different for us. The animal print feels very of the moment, but the print is not overdone. Just enough detail to make the shoe feel fresh without without losing that classic understated Spezial feel.

Expect these to be one of the most hyped adidas releases of August and stay locked to socials for a reminder when these drop!
