URBAN RESEARCH DOORS Launches Exclusive adidas Originals Handball Spezial

URBAN RESEARCH DOORS is set to release an exclusive model of the adidas Originals Handball Spezial on Friday, April 3, 2026. Online store pre-orders open on Friday, March 20.

Originally introduced in 1979 as a handball shoe, the iconic Handball Spezial has long held a place in adidas archives. The standout feature of this exclusive collaboration is the colorway centered on the Three Stripes.

Inspired by early 1990s adidas performance products — an era that defined the brand's history — "Equipment Green" appears on the Three Stripes and insole as an accent. The result is a design that makes the classic silhouette truly stand out.

Two distinct shades of white are used on the upper and sole, respectively. The clean upper paired with the classic-textured sole captures the essence of the original Handball Spezial, while the Equipment Green accents bring out a sense of nostalgia. Two pairs of shoelaces are included — one matching the upper and one matching the sole — making this pair easy to style across a wide range of outfits.
