Adidas Spezial

Adidas Spezial History Spezial was originally designed as a handball shoe in the adidas homeland of Germany for the indoor sports game which is very demanding on footwear and needs to be robust enough to deal with short, sharp movements and heavy friction which the players create. It was first worn in 1979 and players from Germany, Holland and Scandinavia soon made them their favourites. It wasn’t until the 1980s and the start of the Casuals movement in football that these shoes really came into their own as a permanent fixture in fashion too though. Travelling fans enjoyed their comfort and sporty aesthetic, soon realising they looked the part with jeans and other popular outfits in the 80s male wardrobe. Adidas Spezial The Spezial itself is characterized by a high-quality suede upper exterior with a generous offer of cushioning on the feet. It also has a thick gum sole and a reinforced heel panel to weather the wear and tear it is subject to. It has a simplistic appearance which is no doubt partly the reason why it has achieved a timeless “three-stripe” look.
