adidas Handball Spezial Collegiate Navy Clear Sky Gum (GS)

The adidas Handball Spezial Collegiate Navy Clear Sky Gum (GS) updates the classic Handball Spezial silhouette with an all-suede upper and a blue-on-blue colorway.

Originally designed as an indoor handball shoe, this low-top sneaker takes elements from its sporty heritage and gives them a modern twist. For instance, the sneaker boasts a gum rubber outsole that provides superior traction on indoor surfaces like hardwood. When compared to the Samba, the Handball Spezial has a thicker sole that provides extra cushioning. However, dark Collegiate Navy suede replaces traditional nubuck on the upper for a soft feel. Pops of Clear Sky decorate the serrated 3-Stripes logo, the tongue’s retro-inspired adidas branding, and the leather heel mustache.

Our experts like the gentle contrast between the Collegiate Navy and the Clear Sky. These hues bring out the texture of both the leather and suede, giving the sneaker a luxe appearance. The grade school–sized adidas Handball Spezial Collegiate Navy Clear Sky Gum (GS) was released on July 10, 2024, and retailed at $90.
