adidas x Pokémon Handball Spezial – Purple Sneakers

adidas x Pokémon Handball Spezial is one of the most talked-about sneaker collabs of recent months, and the Mewtwo edition is now available on sale at the Footshop store. The model combines the iconic Handball Spezial silhouette with details inspired by one of the strongest Pokémon.

adidas x Pokémon Handball Spezial – Where Did This Collab Come From?

The Mewtwo version was created as part of a broader adidas Originals x Pokémon collection, prepared for the Pokémon brand anniversary and unveiled in the fall. adidas took the Handball Spezial – a model from the '80s originally designed as handball footwear – and translated its archival form into the aesthetic of one of the most powerful Pokémon.

Mewtwo in Handball Spezial – Details That Make the Difference

The upper is made of pearl, light purple leather in Ice Lavender/ Ice Lavender/ Bliss Lilac, and the heel features a buckle shaped like Mewtwo. Inside the shoe, on a gold insole, there's Pokémon graphics, and the sole has a subtle pink gradient. The model number is KI8213.

How to Choose the Right Size in adidas Handball Spezial?

The model is available in a very wide range – from 35 1/3 to 47 1/3 – so it works for various foot sizes and is treated as unisex rather than exclusively women's or men's. With such a broad size range, it's worth checking the Footshop size chart before placing an order.

What to Wear with Mewtwo Handball Spezial?

The purple colorway pairs well with both toned-down and bolder outfits – it works with jeans, tracksuits, or simple skirts. It's a great pick for fans of Pokémon and adidas Originals looking for an alternative to classic Superstars or Sambas.
