Adidas Handball Spezial Black Leopard

With a look that has taken the classic terrace shoe on safari, the women’s Adidas Handball Spezial Black Leopard shows love to one of the brand’s more signature silhouettes with a design that captures the essence of the original, while still managing to bring something new to the table. Dressed primarily in black suede that feels slightly thicker to the touch almost akin to an animal’s coat. The shoe’s upper includes a sidewall that swaps out the traditional matte three-stripes with a leopard print that further adds to the titular aesthetic and a white “Spezial” print that acts as a watermark on the shoe’s lateral panel. Nearer the ground, a textured gum sole acts as the perfect foundation, housing Adidas’ iconic cushioning and completing the sleek shape that has won favour and turned heads since its inception way back in 1979. If you are looking to complete the look or find a similar style, this colourway for the Adidas Handball Spezial denoted simply as the ‘black leopard’ drops as part of a recent ‘Leopard Pack’ that includes similar themed pieces that might be worth a look.
