The adidas Handball Spezial has seen a significant revival in popularity thanks to the retro sneaker trend, partly fueled by the success of models like the Samba. In 2025, adidas is set to launch a new GT edition of this beloved silhouette, which will hit stores in a stylish “Wonder Mauve” color scheme featuring various shades of purple on a luxurious suede upper. This version will showcase enhanced paneling and aggressive stripes borrowed from the Predator line, adapting the classic design into what could be described as a skate-inspired model. This adaptation reflects adidas’ strategy to push their vintage styles into contemporary realms, evidenced by the ongoing success of their retro trainers. With an expected retail price of $110, sneaker enthusiasts can look forward to its release at both adidas and select retailers on March 1st, 2025. Stay tuned for further updates as the release date approaches, and check out the official images of this exciting new addition to the adidas lineup.
