adidas Handball Spezial Liberty London Delft Blue (W)

The adidas Handball Spezial Liberty London Delft Blue (W) with style code IH4505 pairs a 1979 handball shoe with the print archive of the London department store Liberty. It is part of the Delftware pack from early 2026, in which Liberty and adidas translate the blue-and-white floral painting of Dutch Delft pottery to sneakers. The base remains the familiar Handball Spezial: low to the ground, with a T-shaped toe and a flat rubber sole that makes it a light, flexible everyday shoe.

Colorway: Crystal Sky / Silver Metallic / Chalk White

The side panels are made of a jacquard textile woven with a Delftware-inspired floral pattern in soft blue tones. Around it, suede in the light blue Crystal Sky covers the toe, the eyestay and the heel, so the whole upper stays within one colour family. The 3-Stripes and the heel tab are finished in Silver Metallic and give the IH4505 a subtle shine against the matte suede. A rubber outsole closes off the design at the bottom.
