More Spezial but this time of the Handball variety

We're back again after our SS26 Spezial launch last Friday with more Spezial, although it's not the kind that has quite as much excitement around it. We've got four brand new colourways of Handball Spezial, with plenty of variation in colours and materials. Some classic looking designs and some that are more out there, so hopefully something for everyone.

Blackburn inspired Handball

Even when we aren't launching a Spezial collection, it still manages to find a way to get involved. This colourway of Handball Spezial has a noticeable closeness with the Blackburn SPZL from 2019. The main difference is the black midsole and heel tab, which if anything is even better than the Blackburn design.

Two pairs from the 'W' collection

As with a lot of the mainstream pairs from the originals line, a good chunk of releases are from the women's range. In case you haven't yet realised there is no difference in the sizing between the men's and women's pairs, and for both of these new models we've got sizes that can suit both. This classic suede model has an 'aluminium' coloured upper, which appears white but in reality is very light grey.

If the first iteration was a classic combination, then this pair is the complete opposite. The design features a cotton mesh upper in a warm beige, but is dominated by the brown overlays, eyestays and heel tab. The pair also comes with a set of spare brown laces which could be a helpful option to have.

And finally.. adding red into the mix

The final pair of new Handball Spezial is another traditional looking pair, with a full suede upper and leather stripes. The colour chosen is very much halfway between red and orange, so it'll be up to the viewer to decide which it should be known as. We've gone for red as this is what's on the box, but it could go either way.
