adidas Handball Spezial "Olive Strata" KI8685

The adidas Handball Spezial has always had that timeless pull, and this “Olive Strata” colourway leans straight into it. Classic shape. Vintage cues. A finish that feels right for daily wear.

The upper blends soft leather with an embossed croc pattern, giving the shoe a richer look without pushing too far. Suede panels add contrast and texture, breaking things up nicely. It’s subtle, but you feel the difference as soon as you see it up close. Synthetic Three Stripes sit on the sidewalls, keeping the look clean and familiar.

Down below, the gum rubber outsole does exactly what you want it to do. Grip you can trust. A nod back to the Handball Spezial’s indoor court roots. The COLD CEMENT construction keeps the profile slim, while maintaining that solid feel underfoot.

Small details make this pair shine. Contrast stitching sharpens the edges. The synthetic sockliner keeps things comfortable for all-day wear. The colour mix of Olive Strata, Acid Mint, and gum feels fresh without losing that terrace-ready vibe.

This is an easy sneaker to style. Works with denim. Sits well with track pants. Looks right with relaxed tailoring too. If you’re into adidas Originals with history and everyday appeal, this one ticks the box.
