Why Visit Miami When JD Sports Have the 'South Beach' Handball Spezials

Miami's iconic South Beach neighbourhood has inspired a plethora of iconic colourways, and the latest has just arrived on a duo of -exclusive .

The line is the jewel in the crown and has been since forming in 2014 under the direction of Trefoil super fan Gary Aspden. Since their beginnings, Spezial have crafted ultra-premium models and iterations and resurrected hidden gems from the Herzogenaurach archive for the modern day. However, no matter how many special packs, collaborations or retros they do, Spezial’s magnum opus will always be the Handball.

Usually, the adidas Handball Spezial is reserved for muted colourways, but these JD exclusives have switched it up on the colour wheel. Aptly dubbed the ’South Beach’ pack, this duo have gone for the classic Miami blue and pink combo. Each is an inverse of the other, with a mostly pink pair boasting blue accents and then the opposite. Adding extra sauce is the gold branding details on the tongue and lateral, alongside plush suede uppers with pristine leather Three Stripes. Rounding out this iteration is the gum sole, which is featured on almost all Spezial Handballs – back in the 70s, they used gum soles so the timber handball floors wouldn’t get scuffed.

Both the blue and pink colourways in the adidas Handball Spezial ‘South Beach’ pack are out right now exclusively to JD Sports. Tap that link below to cop!
