The adidas Handball Spezial Loafer is back in “Black/White,” and this one sticks to a much more familiar adidas look. The upper is mostly smooth black leather, with white Three Stripes on the sides and a gum sole underneath.

The loafer details are where it really changes from the regular Handball Spezial. The laces are gone, the collar is cut lower, and a wide leather strap sits across the front. There’s a penny-style slot worked into the strap, plus a small gold Trefoil off to the side for a little contrast.

White leather Three Stripes run along the sides, though they are shorter than what you would normally see on the Handball Spezial. The rest of the shoe stays mostly black, including the toe, heel, and apron-style front panel. Piping around the toe helps define the loafer shape without making the design feel overly formal.

The gum rubber sole keeps the sneaker side of the design intact. Embossed adidas branding appears along the midsole, while the outsole mixes geometric traction with repeated Trefoil logos.

Earlier versions of the Handball Spezial Loafer have leaned into animal prints and tonal brown suede. This one keeps things more straightforward, using a black-and-white palette that fits naturally with the rest of the adidas Originals lineup.

The adidas Handball Spezial Loafer “Black/White” is available now in women’s sizing for $130 through adidas.
