Minecraft x Adidas Handball Spezial "Enderman"

Holy sheep! It's Enderman–and on an Adidas Handball Spezial!

With anticipation for its expansive Fortnite Ultraboost collection rising, the German sportswear juggernaut has sneakily prepared yet another playful lineup of products with none other than Microsoft's Minecraft. Although players have enjoyed custom Adidas skins in-game for quite sometime, the newly-surfaced 'Core Black' trainer reveals users will soon be able to IRL as well.

The first-look at the Minecraft x Adidas Originals partnership arrives by way of a Handball Spezial for Boys and Girls. High-quality suede covers most of the upper in a pitch-dark tone. Iconic 3-Stripes at the profiles don't deviate much in terms of color, but they take on a pixelated finish appropriate of the Overworld. 'Minecraft' text replaces typical 'Spezial' branding on the lateral profile, confirming the blockbuster collaboration. Hits of purple interrupt the muted makeup, with the Enderman character's eyes leering from both the base of the laces and Achilles' heel. Sole units below keep things classic in a 'Gum' brown.

Firm Adidas.com release details are still unknown, but the 'Enderman' Handball Spezial is likely to arrive by summer. The pair is set to launch in Kids' sizing and should be priced at $90 USD. Enjoy official photos of the collaboration ahead.
