Handball Spezial ST - adidas Originals - Black - UK 5.5

The upper of the Handball Spezial ST is primarily made from suede, providing a premium look and feel.

For suede, use a specialized suede brush for dry dirt and to restore the nap. For tougher stains, a suede cleaner should be used, following its specific instructions. Avoid saturating the suede with water.

Generally, adidas Originals shoes are considered true to size. However, fit can vary slightly between individuals. We recommend referring to the adidas size guide for the most accurate fit or trying them on if possible.

While they share a name with a classic handball shoe, the Handball Spezial ST is designed for fashion and casual wear. It is not intended for athletic performance or sports activities like handball.

While not officially stated by adidas, the design aesthetic, which is reminiscent of early 2000s skate shoes, suggests that 'ST' could imply 'Skate' or 'Street,' highlighting its modern, chunky interpretation within the series.

Store them in a cool, dry place, ideally in their original box or a shoe bag to protect them from dust. Using shoe trees or crumpled paper can help maintain their shape. Keep them away from direct sunlight and excessive moisture.

Gently brush the affected area with a specialized suede brush. This will help lift the nap and restore the texture.

Allow for a brief break-in period. Wear them for shorter periods at first, and ensure you're wearing appropriate socks to enhance comfort during this time.

Immediately blot the wet area with a clean, absorbent cloth to remove as much liquid as possible. Do not rub. Allow to air dry naturally, stuffed with paper to maintain shape. Once dry, use a suede brush to restore the nap. For tougher stains, a specialized suede cleaner may be required.
