More three stripe staples with the Handball and Samba

Our flurry of Samba is coming to an end soon, but here are two more to keep things ticking over! Both of the new additions are a bit different to the norm, including one pair with a crinkle style nylon upper. The other two models are both recent colourways of Handball Spezial, in two great colour combinations.

Olive Handball Spezial

The first of our Handball Spezial models is this lovely olive green design, which has the unique feature of an accent colour for the edge of the stripe. A handful of Handball colourways have been given this treatment, and it's proven to be a popular design change.

Two-tone Blue

Blue on blue is always a popular combination when you think of trainers such as the Manchester MRN SPZL or Berlin, so adidas knew they were onto a winner with these. The all suede upper is complemented with a bright gum midsole and gold metallic writing.

Crinkle upper Samba

This model of adidas Samba has three design features that will stand out from the original pair. Firstly and most obviously, the nylon upper creates a textured effect which is very much different to the normal smooth leather. The box lettering is unusual and the stripes feature reflective 3M technology to make you stand out even more.

And finally.. Samba X Mardi Gras!

Our final new model for the week is a more conventional Samba that features a premium leather upper, but has a backstory by being inspired by the Mardi Gras festival. This is only shown through the colour palette; sadly there is no presentation box or special insoles with these, which you often get with celebratory colourways.
