Adidas Introduce the Handball Spezial Lo Pro Motorsport

Motorsport is having a moment in footwear. With models like the PUMA Speedcat finding a new generation of fans, adidas is stepping into the fast lane with its own spin on the trend — the Handball Spezial Lo Pro Motorsport.

Drawing direct influence from racing footwear aesthetics, the Spezial Lo Pro is a sleek reinterpretation of the classic Handball Spezial, complete with a lower-profile build and minimalistic design language. The model sports a soft suede and synthetic leather upper and features familiar Spezial detailing, including retro-styled tongue tags and gold foil branding. But what sets this version apart is its slim, driver-inspired build and upgraded rubber outsole that wraps the heel in true motorsport fashion.

While the pictured pair arrives in “Better Scarlet” suede with white leather Three Stripes and a matching heel tab, adidas confirms that several more color options are on the way.

The brand’s official release notes frame the sneaker as a hybrid of retro lifestyle sensibility and motorsport performance cues — a crossover aimed at collectors and casual wearers alike. Expect this model to gain traction when it lands this Fall on adidas.com.
