Adidas Handball Spezial Care Bears Tenderheart Bear

Tenderheart Bear, the brown bear with a heart on his tummy from the Care Bears of the 80s, is the star of the Adidas Handball Spezial Care Bears Tenderheart Bear. The upper is brown suede with a slightly longer, fluffier nap than the usual Spezial, reminiscent of a soft toy, with a gum rubber outsole and Care Bears branding in place of the usual logo.

Inside it has a leather lining and an OrthoLite insole, and it came out in July 2026 as part of the adidas and Care Bears collaboration.

• Upper: long-nap brown suede
• Lining: leather
• Insole: OrthoLite
• Outsole: gum rubber
• Style code: KK4932

What to pair it with: the soft brown works well with the character's reds and pinks, so try it with light jeans and a muted red jumper, or with denim dungarees and a white tee with red stripes. For something more neutral, cream corduroy trousers and a fleece jacket.

Care: fluffy suede gets matted with water; brush it dry and store it stuffed with paper to keep its shape.
