Spezial, Streettalk, Adipista, VL Court: filter by model, colour, and size.
Spezial and Messi edition: the sneaker from handball
The Spezial was born for indoor handball in the late seventies, before becoming a street classic. Its low silhouette, often in suede, stays true to the original model. The page offers several versions, including an edition dedicated to Lionel Messi, in ivory and gold.
Streettalk Bold, Bold, VL Court: women's models
Several models are designed for women. The Streettalk Bold, with a thick sole, comes in black, white, and silver. The Bold range features soft colours with metallic gold accents. The VL Court opts for a low silhouette and gum-coloured sole. These are models made for the city.
Adipista, Breaknet, Barreda: the basics adidas
The Adipista, in white or black, is all about simplicity. The Breaknet and Barreda, inspired by tennis, focus on a clean line with three stripes. These sneakers are easy to wear with anything, from joggers to dresses. The Hoops, more urban, and the Swift complete the everyday options.
Finding the right size at adidas
Start with your usual size and compare the length of your foot to the size guide on the page. Suede models like the Spezial soften up after a few days of wear. If you have wide feet, go for half a size up.

Frequently asked questions
How to protect a suede Spezial from rain?
Apply a water-repellent spray for suede before the first wear, and then regularly. Wet suede dries in the open air, away from a heat source, and then needs brushing. Avoid wearing it in heavy rain.
Is the Streettalk Bold heavy?
Its thick sole makes it a bit heavier than a slim sneaker. It remains comfortable for a day in the city. If you're looking for lightweight options, the Adipista or Breaknet are slimmer.
Women's or unisex fit at adidas: what's the difference?
The women's fit is often slightly narrower at the heel. The unisex models are sized in standard sizes. Compare the inner length in the size guide.
How to clean a gum sole?
Brush it with warm water and a bit of soap. A sole gum eraser removes black marks. Avoid bleach, which yellows the gum.
Can you wear a Spezial with a dress?
Yes, its low and slim silhouette pairs well with a dress or a skirt. Choose a neutral colour for a subtle look, or a bright shade for a statement piece. Low socks accentuate it nicely.
