INVINCIBLE Drops a Subtle Spin on the Handball Spezial

The initiative continues its role as a platform for elevated collaborations, and this season sees Taiwanese retailer return with a fashion-forward spin on the , merging stripped-back design with carefully crafted, artisanal touches.
The iconic silhouette is given a low-key revamp in two key colourways: clean white and worn-in black. Both pairs come in a vintage aesthetic thanks to the distressed rough-cut panels, soft suede hits and a pre-aged feel throughout. The usual stripes are swapped for perforations (nodding to the Stan Smith) while oversized panels and jagged edges add a bit of character. The white option keeps things crisp with smooth leather all over, while the black pair mixes in cracked leather for contrast.
Dubbed Terrace Redefined, INVINCIBLE's take on the Handball Spezial is a tidy mix of old-school terrace vibes and sharp design tweaks. While the venerable retailer is often linked through its colabs with (usually alongside N.HOOLYWOOD, leaning into that military-inspired style), this time around it’s all about subtle textures, stripped-back branding and that broken-in feel that looks better the more it’s worn.
