Adidas Handball Spezial Carbon Off White Black

Dark grey instead of blue or green. On the Adidas Handball Spezial Carbon Off White Black the suede comes in Carbon, a slate grey halfway between grey and black, broken up by the Three Stripes and heel overlay in Off White, with details in Core Black. It keeps the contrast of a classic Spezial in a more urban, less common shade.

The silhouette is that of the indoor handball shoe adidas launched in 1979: low cut, T-toe and a textured rubber outsole for grip.

• Upper: suede
• Details: stripes and heel in off-white
• Outsole: textured rubber
• Fastening: laces
• Style code: IH6590

Styling ideas: charcoal grey goes with your whole winter wardrobe, for example washed black jeans, a grey marl sweatshirt and a long black coat. In between seasons, off-white chinos and a black nylon jacket, picking up the colours of the shoe.

To make it last: a dry suede brush after each wear keeps the grey even; use a protector spray if you are going to wear it in the rain.
