First launched in 1979 as a functional sports sneaker, the adidas Handball Spezial was built for grip on handball courts, not for turning heads. It found a home on the terraces in the '80s and never really left. Practical by nature, sure, but that doesn't mean it can't be covered in rhinestones, from the 3-stripes to the T-shaped toe box. The gum sole underneath, a key archival detail, is still firmly intact.
