When the Samba craze eventually dies down, adidas will have to find another silhouette to fill the void. Sporty & Rich may have just entered the Handball Spezial into the running.
Like the Samba that was featured in Sporty & Rich’s last adidas drop, the Handball Spezial is a certified terrace classic first introduced in the 1970s. The Emily Oberg-founded lifestyle brand has chosen this silhouette as the star of its fourth release with adidas Originals, offering a trio of elevated, minimalist colorways dressed in pastel green, pink, and brown hues.
All three colorways feature smooth suede uppers, white leather on the stripes and heel panels, and a satin-like textile sockliner. Sporty & Rich branding can be found on the tongues, insoles, and lateral side panel, while underfoot sits a classic gum rubber outsole.
The Sporty & Rich x adidas Handball Spezial drops May 23rd on the Sporty & Rich website and CONFIRMED. Check out all three colorways below.
