Adidas Originals might be one of the busier footwear divisions around. In addition to partnering with some of the world's most influential, creative forces, the label continues to bring-back long-forgotten designs while simultaneously reimagining popular ones. The latter cohort will soon include a Handball Spezial donning a cow-inspired print.
Officially clad in "Chalky Brown/Off White/Gum Five," the Womens'-exclusive style falls in line with other Originals offerings covered in animal-inspired elements. The ASOS-exclusive "Cow Print" Samba quickly sold out upon release, while a similar Taekwondo Mei helped reintroduce the model to market. The latest Handball Spezial, however, opts for a subtler finish.

As aforementioned, an autumn-friendly "Chalky Brown" appears across the upper, covering the entirety of its suede construction. Laces follow suit, with profile 3-Stripes, Spezial text on the lateral mid-foot, and Achilles' heel overlays deviating in an "Off White" tone. The collar further contrasts its surroundings with a splotchy pattern that also takes on a white-and-brown color palette. Upon further inspection, the cow-inspired print becomes obvious.
Underfoot, the sport-informed, semi-translucent sole unit keeps things classic in a gum brown finish.
