Sneakers adidas Originals - Handball Spezial - Low Shoes - Size 7.5 UK

The shoes are primarily crafted from genuine leather with soft suede overlays.

While inspired by handball shoes, the modern Handball Spezial is best suited as a lifestyle and casual wear sneaker. They are not designed for the demands of contemporary professional or intense recreational handball.

Use a specialized suede brush to remove dry dirt and restore the texture. For stains, apply a suede cleaner cautiously, following product instructions.

Ensure you select the correct UK size. The traditional lacing system allows for adjustment to suit your foot shape.

While the leather offers some protection, the suede is susceptible to water damage and staining. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions.

'Gum4' refers to a specific shade of gum rubber used for the sole, typically a classic yellowish-brown color.

The Handball Spezial is part of the Originals line, focusing on reissuing classic designs from the brand's archives, particularly those inspired by vintage sports footwear like handball.

Use a dedicated suede brush to lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For stubborn marks, use a suede cleaner sparingly and test on a small area first.

Normal wear will cause some creasing. To minimize, ensure proper fit and consider using shoe trees when not in use.

Clean the gum sole with a damp cloth. For scuffs, a magic eraser can sometimes be effective, but use with caution to avoid damaging surrounding materials.

Remove the laces and hand wash them with mild soap and water. Allow them to air dry completely before re-lacing.
