The Handball Spezial Loafer takes the 1979 indoor handball silhouette and pushes it into something closer to a driving shoe or house loafer without losing the Spezial DNA underneath. This Aurora Cocoa pair leans fully into that shift — a chocolate-brown suede upper with tonal leather detailing and the familiar gum sole that keeps it tied to the terrace lineage. The shape is softer and more relaxed than a standard Spezial, but the low-profile sole still reads unmistakably Adidas.
The upper combines suede with soft leather stripes and a leather lining, finished with metallic foil Spezial branding along the sidewall. Underfoot, the classic gum rubber outsole stays low and flat, preserving the indoor-sport foundation the Spezial line is known for. The thinner collar and pared-back loafer construction give this version a lighter feel on foot than the standard lace-up model.
If you've worn Sambas and wanted something roomier and less structured, the Handball Spezial family fits noticeably wider through the footbed. The Spezial keeps the same retro indoor-sport profile but feels easier and softer out of the box than a leather Samba.
This pair works naturally with straight-leg trousers, washed denim, or relaxed tailoring — the kind of shoe that sits somewhere between terrace sneaker and casual loafer without forcing the point.
Listed in US Women's sizing. The Handball Spezial line offers the roomiest fit of the classic terrace models and generally fits true to size. The loafer construction keeps the fit relaxed through the forefoot without feeling sloppy.

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!
