Cool -
This is not a built up glandular super cushy shoe. It is true to it's heritage--handball. Frankly, you'll feel shorter in these. But WOW...are they cool! It's like wearing a Santa suit in a bar. Women love them and men covet them. Plus they ARE very comfortable and light.

Cool classics -
The Spezial is a very cool shoe, harkening back to the '80s soccer and handball trainers. It runs a little narrow and the arch is a little far back, but an insole will take care of that. Until I can find a pair of Trimm Trabs, these are the shoes!

Compliments -
These shoes receive instant compliments from anyone who knows the least bit about what's cool. Any girl taking notice of these shoes is an instant keeper. I recommend in keeping with the old school Knicks blue and orange color scheme. Trust me on this one fellas.

Old School Spezial Rules!
As a longtime Sports Illustrated reader I remember the origin of the Adidas (Adi Dassler) sport shoe brand. I was an avid golden age of tennis fan, and many of the worlds greats wore Adidas. The simplistic, classic design of the Adidas "Originals" collection is only matched by the comfort. I got the alabaster/blue stripe shoe, which goes with pratically anything. I have a high instep, and the lacing adapts nicely. I get to wear shorts to work now, so I'll need a spezial pair of Adidas shoes for every day of the work week!

Great shoe. Only they're a little small at first, but after wearing them for about a week, they feel right.

Great Shoes -
These shoes truly rock. They look awesomely emo (if that's what your're going for) or just awesome. Get them just to be like me, wink.

Very Satisfied -
These shoes are extremely comfortable, even without socks. My only complaint is that the stripes in the picture looked white, but turned out to be a pale light blue. They still look great.

Outstanding arch support, the best I've found so far. These shoes are a little snug, but they are designed to allow you to stop on a dime. To me, they felt great right out of the box.

A good looking shoe. I normally wear an 11 in Adidas, but needed an 11.5, so order a half size larger than normal. Fast shipping with Zappos; great service!

Wearing them every day...
I got red ones, so wearing them every day is actually a difficult thing to work into my wardrobe. But they're so dope I can't help it. They fit like the Adidas I've had for 4 years right out the box. I expect to have these until they're just too dirty and stinky to wear anymore.

A Great Shoe -
Shopping with Zappos has been nothing but positive. Not only was the product I ordered great looking, comfortable and true to size, but it was shipped to me in just 2 days. I will shop Zappos again and again.

Sweet Retro Bannanas -
This is a great looking retro handball shoe. This is not an all-day shoe, however, for anyone with any foot, leg or lower back problems.

The perfect shoe -
With whole retro movement comming back it's good to know the brand with the three stripes is keeping it real. These pair of adidas by far scream Original! As for comfort goes, right on the money.

Where can I get every color?
I bought these shoes on a whim 6 years ago in an Adidas outlet store. I have worn them for an average of 5 indoor games per week since then and have literally worn them clean through. They are like slippers! I don't want to give them up until I have at LEAST two more pair in my possession! I will never use anything else.
