adidas’ Silky Sneaker Is One Step Closer to Its Ballerina Dreams
The newest adidas Handball Spezial Lo Pro is about one update away from being the next ballerina sneaker.
Right now, it's building a solid case. The latest versions feature black satin uppers and even an additional set of silky ribbon shoelaces, updates that push the model closer to ballet territory.
It already has the flat-soled look. The satin just made it even more ballerina-worthy. All it needs now is the Mary Jane strap, and then it'd be a real Spezial ballet sneaker.
After all, adidas is quite good at making ballet sneakers. Its collection includes some of the best pairs out, like the Samba Jane and Taekwondo Mei Ballet.
And the Handball Spezial sneaker is already such a versatile sneaker. It's been an office-ready loafer (a good one, at that) and a cool Pokémon sneaker. Is it crazy to think it would work as a ballerina sneaker? Nope.
But until the moment comes, the black satin Handball Spezial Lo Pro is now available on available on adidas Japan's website for ¥16,500, or $104.
