Sneaker Politics has given the Adidas Handball Spezial a new look, built this time around dotted panels pieced together across a multicolor upper. The boutique's collaboration takes its cue from Buddy Guy, translating the reference into a print that shifts scale and color from panel to panel. It's a livelier turn for a silhouette usually known for its restraint.

With reporting from WWD.
