adidas has reimagined one of its iconic silhouettes, the Handball Spezial, transforming it from a classic trainer into a contemporary performance sneaker: the adidas Training Spezial. While past adidas trainers might not keep pace with today’s athletic demands, this updated model seamlessly blends its vintage aesthetic with cutting-edge technology designed for intense workouts.

About the adidas Training Spezial

The adidas Training Spezial maintains the sleek, low-profile design that made the original a hit with ’80s athletes—and what allows it to still remain a sought-after classic in today’s footwear landscape. However, beneath its retro exterior lies a host of modern features engineered for peak performance.

Its dual-density REPETITOR foam midsole provides targeted support—a firmer heel for stability during heavy lifts and a softer forefoot for cushioning during dynamic movements. The CORDURA® nylon upper ensures a combination of lightweight flexibility and robust durability, while the Traxion outsole delivers superior grip for quick sprints and lateral cuts.

Release Details

The adidas Training Spezial is currently available on adidas.com in two colorways: Black/White and White/Black. Keep an eye out for additional colorways expected to release later this year.
