Adidas at The Smart Dresser is not a standard sportswear range. We focus on the lines that have set the tone in the casual scene for decades: Adidas Spezial, Originals, and selected retro silhouettes. If you’ve landed here, you probably already know there’s a difference between the Adidas in the sports store and the Adidas worn on the terraces. In the Berlin Store, you can compare the Spezial colorways live before you decide.
Adidas Spezial is a tribute to the British terrace culture of the late 70s and 80s—limited sneakers and apparel that combine heritage and subculture. The Handball Spezial in light blue or green is the entry point we recommend to everyone: timeless design, suede upper with rubber sole, and it goes with literally everything from cargo pants to chinos.

The short, sporty shorts with the three stripes on the side have been a casual staple since the 80s—worn in summer with a simple T-shirt and trainers, this is a look that never goes out of style. The material is lightweight polyester, quick-drying, perfect for warmer days.
