At the end of the seventies, the Spezial was born for handball before becoming a street icon: the adidas shoes of the Black Friday tell this double life, between the court and the city.
Stabil and Crazyflight for playing, Spezial, Samba and other sneakers for everyday use, in men's, women's and children's sizes.
The Stabil is one of the most popular indoor shoes for handball. It focuses on lateral support, a non-marking rubber sole, and a low cut that allows free movement of the ankle. Many colours are available in both men's and women's versions.
The Crazyflight stands out for its lightweight design and comes in both low and mid-top styles, with the Mid version offering more ankle support. Very popular in volleyball, it also appeals to many female handball players.
The Spezial retains the shape of the original handball shoe, featuring a rubber sole. The Samba, originally designed for indoor football, has also made its way into the city. They are suitable for everyday wear but do not replace a modern indoor shoe for playing.
The adidas selection also includes sneakers like the Breaknet, Barreda, and Streettalk, children's models like the Tensaur, and basketball shoes. The sport filter helps you narrow your search to just handball or volleyball if you're looking for a playing shoe.
The adidas shoes generally fit true to size, but some indoor models can be slightly narrow at the front of the foot. If you have wide feet or are between sizes, go for the half size up. Try them on with your match socks.
An indoor shoe has a flat, grippy sole, lateral support, and cushioning designed for landings. A lifestyle sneaker lacks these features. If you want to play, make sure the product type indicated is indeed indoor shoes.
