What is adidas Spezial?

Let’s start with the basics, just in case any newbies are getting into the collection for the first time. 

Released way back in 1979 (which was actually the same year as their iconic Copa Mundial boots), the adidas Spezial was initially launched as a handball shoe. Sporting the classic three stripes along its side, the Spezial quickly became famous for its durability and robustness out on the court - not to mention its pretty impressive comfort. 

Featuring premium suede materials, incredible cushioning and enough gorgeous colourways to fill any sneakerhead's wardrobe, it wasn’t long until the Spezial moved into the fashion world. Thanks to its irresistible retro vibes, these trainers offer the quintessential adidas look, with a timeless design which basically suits just about anyone. 

Now more than 40 years since its initial release, the adidas Spezial is still turning heads and making headlines. In a nutshell, this is the perfect shoe for any lovers of vintage footwear, and the brand-new 2020 collection is expected to sell very quickly indeed. Not to be sniffed at.
