adidas’ archival terrace trainers are in constant rotation in Europe. This explains many of their collaborative partners’ focus on these older models, like BSTN’s new “OG With a Twist” pack featuring the Handball Spezial.
adidas collaborations are frequent, giving a wide range of brands, artists, and designers the chance to reimagine their expansive archive of footwear styles. However, the Three Stripes has an elite tier of partners through the Consortium label, who are given extra tools to alter and amend iconic silhouettes to their liking. All of these partners are retail stores, creating specialty sneakers to tell stories, often in relation to their home cities and communities. This week, Germany’s BSTN has unveiled their latest work with adidas, releasing this weekend.
The latest project from BSTN brings a fun new look to the Handball Spezial, an older trainer that has returned to adidas’ catalog in force over the last year. BSTN’s take on the model revamps the shoe’s OG looks “With a Twist”, adding new panels and high quality materials for a premium finish. The added overlays come in the form of swooping stripes that start at the midfoot and curve across each toe, giving the shoe a more layered appearance. Dressed in either triple white or triple black palettes with gum soles, both pairs are fully constructed from rich, full grain leather, down to their stamped insoles.
