Adidas Originals Handball Spezial: Urban Research Doors Exclusive Release
Adidas Originals is set to release an exclusive iteration of the Handball Spezial in collaboration with Urban Research Doors. The release will occur on Friday, April 3, 2026, with online pre-orders beginning on Friday, March 20, 2026, through the Urban Research Online Store.
A Classic Reimagined
The Handball Spezial, originally launched as a handball shoe in 1979, has become an iconic silhouette within the Adidas archive. This exclusive model distinguishes itself through a unique colorway centered around the signature three stripes.
Design Details
Drawing inspiration from Adidas performance products of the early 1990s, the design incorporates “Equipment Green” as an accent color on the three stripes and insole. This design choice aims to evoke a sense of nostalgia and highlight the shoe’s classic form. The upper features two different shades of white, creating a clean aesthetic, while the textured sole maintains the original Handball Spezial’s character.
Styling and Fit
The shoe will be offered with two sets of laces – one matching the upper’s color and another matching the sole – providing versatility in styling.
Pricing and Availability
The Adidas Originals exclusive Handball Spezial will be priced at 16,500 yen (tax included).
