All-black sneakers are great. All-black Cordura sneakers are even better. adidas clearly knows ball, as the kids might say, having cooked up the perfect black Cordura sneaker.

The brand returns with a new Cordura Handball Spezial, weaving the technical fabric into its classic sneaker to increase its durability and longevity. adidas has also used the military-grade material in its beloved Samba sneakers and even weird trekking shoes previously.

In addition to the Cordura touch, the Handball Spezial also features sumptuous suede overlays, all washed in this clean black colorway.

The results? A quietly tough sneaker ready for daily rotations.
