WMNS adidas Handball Spezial "Maroon" JP8726

First introduced in 1979 as a performance shoe for indoor handball, the adidas Handball Spezial now returns in a women’s-exclusive “Maroon” colourway that leans into vintage sportwear roots with just the right modern edge. Designed with off-court versatility in mind, it keeps the iconic low-top silhouette intact, complete with classic detailing and rich textures throughout.

The upper features a plush maroon suede that softens with wear while offering a premium look and feel. Smooth leather overlays in Cream White provide subtle contrast around the heel tab and Three Stripes branding. Gold foil adidas Spezial lettering stamps the lateral side, finishing the look with a nod to heritage. Below, the gum rubber outsole delivers timeless style and reliable grip, staying true to the original indoor design.

Comfort doesn’t take a backseat either. Inside, a soft textile lining cradles the foot for day-to-day wear, while the lightweight build keeps things breezy and easy to move in. Whether paired with wide-leg jeans or summer dresses, these deliver that retro appeal without trying too hard.

Perfect for anyone looking to mix archive design with clean execution, the Handball Spezial “Maroon” sits firmly in that sweet spot between everyday staple and classic terrace trainer.
