adidas Handball Spezial Valentine's Day (2026) (W)
The adidas Handball Spezial Valentine’s Day (2026) (W) with style code KH9044 celebrates the 1979 indoor handball classic with a romantic makeover for Valentine’s Day 2026. This women’s adidas Originals Handball Spezial keeps the low-profile terrace silhouette and gum sole that made the model a cult favourite, but reworks it in soft Cream White suede with Better Scarlet and Sandy Pink accents. Designed as a lifestyle take on the archive shoe, it blends retro terrace style with subtle love-themed details that still feel easy to wear year-round. Released in early 2026 with a women’s size run and a retail price around €110, the adidas Handball Spezial Valentine’s Day KH9044 is perfect if you want a Valentine’s pair that doesn’t feel like a costume sneaker.
Colorway: Cream White / Better Scarlet / Sandy Pink
The adidas Handball Spezial Valentine’s Day (2026) (W) is built on a Cream White suede upper that gives the shoe a soft, premium look and instantly ties it back to classic terrace sneakers. Better Scarlet Three Stripes, heel tab and tongue branding add rich cherry-red pops that play directly into the Valentine’s Day theme. Sandy Pink details appear on the heel tab and artwork, including a heart motif on the back and Trefoil heart branding that keeps the storytelling romantic but still subtle on foot. Gold-foil “Handball Spezial” lettering on the sidewalls adds a vintage-inspired touch, while leather or synthetic lining upgrades step-in comfort compared to older pairs from the archive. Underfoot, the iconic gum rubber outsole finishes the Cream White / Better Scarlet / Sandy Pink palette and underlines the shoe’s indoor-sports roots and terrace appeal. Overall, the mix of beige suede, red stripes, pink heart details and gum sole makes KH9044 an easy Valentine’s Day sneaker to style with denim, cargos or wide-leg trousers.
How does the adidas Handball Spezial Valentine’s Day (2026) (W) fit?
The adidas Handball Spezial Valentine’s Day (2026) (W) generally offers a regular, true to size fit in women’s sizing, similar to other recent Handball Spezial releases. Several shops list it as a standard women’s fit, but at least one reseller notes that the model runs slightly small and suggests going up half a size, especially if you are between sizes. The soft suede upper and leather or synthetic lining give a snug but comfortable feel once broken in, while the low-profile last and gum sole keep the shoe feeling close to the ground. If you have narrow to normal-width feet and like a classic terrace fit, your usual adidas women’s size will normally work well; if you have wider feet or prefer a bit more room, choosing half a size up in the adidas Handball Spezial Valentine’s Day KH9044 is a safe option.
