German sneaker retailer BSTN first partnered with adidas back in 2022 for a two-pack of Forum ‘84s inspired by European basketball. This set the stage for what has become a key theme across BSTN’s projects with The Three Stripes, with future collabs on the Centennial RM, Jabbar Lo, and Dame 9 all taking inspiration from the sport. Now, the retailer is looking to the world of soccer, sorry football, for a couple pairs of Handball Spezials that might be their best collab yet.

BSTN x adidas Handball Spezial O.G. With a Twist Pack

The BSTN x adidas “O.G. With a Twist” Spezial pack features two pairs, one black and white and one white on white. The O.G. silhouette gets its twist on the upper, which has been transformed into a Copa Mundial-inspired hybrid by way of curved panels and stitching behind the classic T-toe. Both pairs are made entirely from soft, premium leather, with suede on the T-toe and heel panel.

A follow-up to the first BSTN x adidas “O.G. With a Twist” partnership on a Consortium Cup Samba in 2023, the dual Spezial pack gets specialty branding from a light blue OGWAT tag on the tongue and BSTN branding next to the Three Stripes. The insole and box both feature a graphic of a character spinning a basketball made specifically for this release to represent BSTN’s basketball history blended with adidas’ soccer style.

The BSTN x adidas Handball Spezial ‘O.G. with a Twist’ pack releases August 16, 2025, exclusively at BSTN online and in-store. Coming in unisex sizing, the price is set at 129,99 € (approx. $151).
