The Handball Spezial is a sneaker with heritage and personality. Designed in the late 1970s for Europe’s handball courts, it has since moved effortlessly from sport to street culture, finding its place on sidewalks, skate parks, music videos, and runways. Subtle in design yet instantly recognisable, the Spezial is a quiet icon. On Suhana Khan, it feels perfectly in sync: modern, assured, and effortless.
adidas Originals has long stood for more than sportswear. Its classic toe sneakers have become symbols of self-expression across generations, from Superstars in hip-hop to Sambas in skate culture and Gazelles in Britpop. Now, the Spezial steps forward with a new wave of creators and changemakers. With Khan joining this legacy, the message is simple: icons do not fade, they evolve.
