What we have written
Every piece, with the place each claim came from underneath it. Where we could not reach a source we say so instead of quietly leaving it out.
Handball Spezial
The Handball Spezial was originally released in 1979, was designed to be used in handball, has a special sole that closely resembles a cleat for traction, and became a popular fashion item in the United Kingdom during the 1980s with many football fans wearing them. Wikipedia also notes its similarity to the Samba and the Gazelle
