Adidas Originals Men's Black/White Handball Spezial Sneakers, HP3673
This version of the Handball Spezial comes in a black and white Argentina-inspired colorway, built with a black leather upper and white 3-Stripes that give it a cleaner look than the suede pairs most people associate with the model. First released in 1979 for elite handball players, the Spezial remains one of Adidas's most faithful indoor-sport revivals.
The leather upper is paired with a synthetic sockliner and a low gum rubber outsole that keeps the shoe close to the ground. Spezial branding on the tongue and quarter stays true to the original details, while the flat sole and slim profile preserve the feel of the vintage indoor trainer. The leather gives this pair a smoother finish that wears differently from the model's more common suede releases.
If you've worn Sambas and want something roomier, the Handball Spezial offers a noticeably wider fit through the footbed with a thinner tongue and collar. The Samba is the narrower, more structured shoe, while the Spezial feels easier right out of the box.
The black-and-white color scheme works naturally with cuffed denim, track pants, or grey sweats. It keeps the old indoor-sport character without feeling tied to one particular era.
Listed in US Men's sizing. The Handball Spezial offers the roomiest fit of the classic terrace models and is a good choice for wider feet. Generally true to size. Compared with the Samba, the tongue and collar are thinner and the overall fit feels more accommodating.
Brand new, deadstock. Ships in original Adidas box with all original packaging.
Ships same or next business day from our Portland, Oregon warehouse. Every pair is authenticated before it leaves our floor.

Great place to buy shoes from. Sometimes they don’t have the size you are looking for but just wait until they do. Best prices on the ol’ interweb.
Love the sneakers. I purchased adidas campus sneakers & there are perfect. True to size (oversized for the campus sneaker as it’s a skateboard style).
I purchase a pair of Adidas shoes. This seller was offering the best price. The delivery was fast a speedy, with in a few days of my order being placed I received my merchandise. The description of the product was exactly as what I received. I will buy from this seller again. Great experience.
Fast shipping, quick messaging response, excellent products, 100% recommend. My first time buying here and I had such an awesome experience.
My husband enjoyed them!
