adidas’ Olive Suede Loafer Isn’t Your Normal 9-5 Shoe

The Story

Just when you thought the adidas Handball Spezial loafer couldn't get any better, the brand's newest olive suede version enters.

The German sportswear brand has released quite a few Spezial loafers, including animal-print renditions and even C-suite-worthy all-leather pairs. It has even delivered a good amount of suede dress shoes but surprisingly not an olive green iteration. Until now, that is.

adidas' newest loafers land in an exclusive olive colorway, available only at Beauty & Youth United Arrows. The rich olive tones pair quite nicely with the velvety textures, creating a dressy hybrid that's satisfying all around.

Of course, it keeps its formal-style upper and sleek rubber soles borrowed from the Handball Spezial sneaker, essentially all the ingredients that make it better than your average 9-5 stepper.

Of course, this rare colorway won't be an easy cop. The olive adidas Handball Spezial loafer is exclusively available on Beauty & Youth's website for 15,400 yen, which is around $97.

Not too bad for one of the brand's best-dressed loafers.
