The adidas Handball Spezial Earth Strata Gum upgrades the Handball Spezial silhouette with a neutral colorway of Earth Strata and Off White. The upper construction boasts supple suede in Earth Strata and a tonal T-shaped toebox in the same material. Both the 3-Stripes logo and the panels that form the lace cage feature serrated edges. While Earth Strata is the dominant tone, Off White can be found on the 3-Stripes logo, the heel tab, the laces, and the tongue’s logo tag. This logo tag has a vintage-inspired design that finds inspiration in adidas’ retro handball catalog. Other branding details include ‘SPEZIAL’ printed along the 3-Stripes logo in metallic lettering and ‘adidas’ embossed into the outsole. Our experts appreciate the inclusion of standard-colored gum on the rubber outsole which gives the sneaker a vintage appearance. The adidas Handball Spezial Earth Strata Gum was released on November 10th, 2023, and sold for $110.
