There’s a Handball Spezial footprint in the sand on Tatooine in the new Star Wars x adidas teaser. The shoe itself never appears, but the tread suggests it’ll be part of the collection for Star Wars’ 50th anniversary.
From there, the camera pans toward the Sarlacc Pit before landing on a bag labeled “Cargo Found.” Anniversary branding ties the bag to adidas and Star Wars, while a small hangtag reads “07/50.” The meaning of that number hasn’t been explained, and nothing in the video reveals how the footwear will look.
adidas and Star Wars have been making sneakers together since 2009, including the “Luke Skywalker” Top Ten and “X-Wing” Ultraboost. The Handball Spezial appears to be next, although its inclusion still rests on that brief outsole shot. Other models and character references haven’t been revealed.
The Star Wars x adidas 50th Anniversary Collection is expected in 2027, marking 50 years since the original film.
