Adidas Spezial IE3698 Cream Off-White Core Black Gold Logo Gum
The Spezial with the most detail. The Adidas Spezial IE3698 takes the cream-and-black combination — one of the most classic pairings in the Spezial range — and elevates it with three details that set it apart from every other shoe in the collection. First: the upper is a mixed-material construction of cream leather and off-white suede, creating a layered texture that reads as a single warm tone but reveals real material depth up close. Second: the heel collar is finished with a white decorative stitch detail — a zigzag embroidered trim that runs along the collar edge — the only Spezial in the range with this kind of handcraft-referencing detail. Third: the branding is gold — "SPEZIAL" script and Trefoil logo in gold, shared only with the IH6588 and IH6590 in this range. Core black three-stripes and a matching black heel collar create the sharpest possible contrast against the cream base. White laces keep the upper clean. A translucent honey gum sole completes the warm palette at the base. Comes in the classic Adidas blue box. Available in EU 36–45 — the Spezial with the most craft in the range.
