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.
