Adidas Spezial: From the Court to the Top of Street Fashion
The Adidas Spezial sneakers are among the absolute icons in Adidas history. Originally created in 1979 as a shoe for professional handball players, their timeless design and comfort quickly catapulted them far beyond the sports halls. Today, they are experiencing a massive comeback and are a sought-after item for collectors and anyone who loves casual style alike.
Functionality That Created Style
When they were first released, players valued the "Spezials" primarily for their functionality. The durable suede upper guaranteed comfort, while the grippy rubber outsole with its signature pivot point provided perfect stability during quick changes of direction.
It was this combination of simple aesthetics and thoughtful design that caught the eye of British football fans in the 1980s. For the "casuals" of the era, the blue Spezials became a signature item and an integral part of the so-called terrace culture.
The Rebirth of a Legend
The model made its grand return to the scene in 2014 thanks to Gary Aspden, a curator and huge Adidas history enthusiast who is behind the premium adidas Originals x SPEZIAL line. This collection revives forgotten gems from the brand's archives, giving them new life with an emphasis on premium materials and faithful craftsmanship.
In recent years, their popularity has literally exploded, largely thanks to social media and celebrities who have embraced them. Their retro look fits perfectly with current trends, and they pair well with almost anything – from classic jeans to more elegant trousers.

adidas Originals are not just sneakers but an entire culture that has developed around them. Ever since the brand with the iconic three stripes appeared on the scene, it has shaped the sports world as well as streetwear and pop culture. The history of adidas dates back to 1949, when Adi Dassler laid the foundations for the brand that is now one of the absolute top brands. The adidas Originals segment was created as a tribute to the iconic models of the past. It revives classic silhouettes and adds modern elements to them. It keeps the legacy of sports and urban fashion alive and relevant.
The most famous models include the immortal Superstar, favoured by members of the hip-hop group Run-D.M.C. in the 1980s, or the minimalist Stan Smith, named after the legendary tennis player. If you're looking for something more futuristic, the adidas NMD or Ozweego are great choices. The common denominator of all models is quality materials and technologies like Boost or Primeknit. And of course, timeless designs that never get old.
Over decades of existence, adidas Originals sneakers have won fans among celebrities, athletes and artists. They are worn by Pharrell Williams, Kanye West and skater Nora Vasconcellos. The brand regularly collaborates with leading designers and other brands. Collaborations with Yeezy, Prada or Beyoncé' s Ivy Park clearly prove that Originals models are not afraid to constantly push the boundaries of fashion.
Whether you're looking for something for everyday wear, to pump up the sporty vibe or simply retro classics, this brand always has something that will get you going. Atdy certainly doesn't skimp on comfort, quality and style. Choose your pair at Footshop and be part of a legend.
