The adidas Spezial shoes were introduced in 1979 for handball athletes, but it wasn't long before the undeniable style paved a path beyond the indoor court. This pair celebrates that rich past with signature design elements ranging from the suede upper to the T-shaped toe box. Vibrant modern colour combinations add standout looks. Lace them up and express your style with a vintage flare.

They sent me the wrong shoe, which has never happened before. I have bought many shoes for my kids on StockX. I had to take some photos and fill out a form but got the return shipping label today.Sorry I didn’t get the shoes I wanted but gladI can send them back!

The black and white Spezials were out of stock everywhere. Stock X offered a really good price as a resale. I was quite hesitant about buying from a resale website, but I’d certainly do it again. They were brand new as described and arrived quickly considering it involved a middle man.

My review is not based on the product. The product received was as expected. My 2 star review is due to the return/exchange policy. If I had been aware that there are no returns/exchanges I would not have used StockX. I am about convenience, and having to resell the product myself is an inconvenience. In the future, if avoidable I will not be using StockX.

So happy I finally got these as wanted for a while. They came straight from adidas so thought delivery would be slower than usual but they came sooner than expected. Amazing style and fit and really comfortable! I put them on straight away. 10/10
These are a beautiful shade of navy, suede upper with leather stripes, the coloured accents on the tongue and heel are a bright orange rather than yellow like what's shown in the pictures on this website. The laces also have golden tips.Spezial trainers have arch supports, for those who haven't tried them on before.They're very comfortable, great looking and great quality.Their fit is very similar to Samba OG trainers.
i have 4 pairs of adidas spezials.best street shoe on the planet. more structured than a pair of converse, but not a super sporty trainer.the soles of these shoes could be better, the "arch support" which is really just a foam insert ,glued to the sole hurts my foot after a while. to counter this, before wearing them i removed the arch support from the sole. this makes the sole flat, so i would not recommend this shoe for people with orthopaedic problems.the quality of the suede is amazing. i have a pair that i wear to work and they still have not creased and the suede has not become unattached from the rubber.the rubber sole is also very durable. the shoelaces are good quality and do not come undone easily.in my opinion the sizing for this shoe runs small. i ... Morei have 4 pairs of adidas spezials.best street shoe on the planet. more structured than a pair of converse, but not a super sporty trainer.the soles of these shoes could be better, the "arch support" which is really just a foam insert ,glued to the sole hurts my foot after a while. to counter this, before wearing them i removed the arch support from the sole. this makes the sole flat, so i would not recommend this shoe for people with orthopaedic problems.the quality of the suede is amazing. i have a pair that i wear to work and they still have not creased and the suede has not become unattached from the rubber.the rubber sole is also very durable. the shoelaces are good quality and do not come undone easily.in my opinion the sizing for this shoe runs small. i am an eu 41 and i bought eu 42.
This is my second time buying this shoe and I just love the shape and style. Super comfy and true to size. The only difference between my last pair and this pair is there seems to be some cut backs - like the gold embossed logo at the back of the shoe is gone and 'Spezial' is now in a cheap foil that has begun to chip where as last time it was embossed into the leather. Otherwise I still love the shoe just disappointed the quality is going down slightly.
This is the second pair of these shoes that I've bought. They are super comfortable, the tread is incredibly durable & the powder blue really pops! The only challenge with a shoe like this is that suede needs to be looked after & you don't want them to get too wet.
Love the style and comfort of these shoes and true to size. However, the insole of both shoes has been glued at a slant and therefore shows some of the inner shoe seams, as well as it feeling as though I’m walking with extra arch support from the wonky insole. Not the end of the world but not 100% either.
The most comfiest trainers I have owned. Bought my usual size and they fit like a glove. I especially like the additional support for the arch on my foot. The insole has an almost orthotic feel to it. Suede really soft and love the gum sole design. Definitely buy these again
