Adidas Handball Spezial Aluminum Core Black

Beige and black, a sober contrast: the Adidas Handball Spezial Aluminum Core Black dresses adidas' handball classic in Aluminum beige suede with black details.

The Spezial launched in 1979 as a handball shoe for Europe's indoor courts. From that era it keeps the T-toe, the suede upper and the low profile that define it today. This combination keeps all of the model's character with a more understated, easy-to-wear palette.

• Upper: suede
• Closure: laces
• Style code: IF6562

Beige with black works with almost everything. Wear it with black straight-leg jeans, a white tee and a leather jacket; with gray pleated pants, a cream knit sweater and a camel coat; or with black sweatpants and a beige sweatshirt for a tonal look. With black socks, the outfit looks more uniform; with white, lighter.

Brush the suede dry with a dedicated brush and protect it with a waterproof spray before the first wear. If it gets stained, use a suede eraser.
