While inspired by original handball shoes, the modern adidas Originals Handball Spezial is designed primarily for casual wear and everyday comfort, not for high-performance sports activities.
The upper is constructed from durable `leather`, providing a classic look and feel.
For the leather upper, gently wipe with a damp cloth or use a specialized leather cleaner. Air dry away from direct heat. Avoid machine washing.
The shoes feature a `regular fit`. Most users find them true to their standard UK shoe size. Refer to the size guide if unsure.
The 'Originals' designation indicates that these shoes are a re-release or reinterpretation of a classic adidas design from their archives, specifically inspired by the 1979 Handball Spezial.
Like all colored materials, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or harsh chemicals can cause fading. Proper care and storage will help maintain the `Collegiate Green` color.
Leather shoes often require a 'break-in' period. Wear them for short durations around the house before extended outings. The leather will gradually soften and conform to your foot.
Clean the leather thoroughly, then apply a good quality leather conditioner or cream. Buff gently with a soft cloth to restore shine and suppleness.
The `rubber outsole` provides good everyday traction, but on very wet or slippery surfaces, exercise caution. Ensure the outsole is clean and free from debris for optimal grip.
Try double-knotting your laces. You might also consider replacing the laces with a different material or texture that holds knots more securely.
Setup: Simply lace up the shoes to achieve a comfortable and secure fit. Adjust laces as needed to accommodate your foot shape.Compatibility: These trainers are highly versatile for casual wear. They pair well with denim, chinos, shorts, and tracksuits, making them a staple for everyday style. Their `Collegiate Green` colorway can add a pop of color to neutral outfits or complement other earthy tones.Care:- Cleaning the Leather: Use a soft brush or damp cloth to gently wipe away dirt. For tougher stains, use a specialized leather cleaner.- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight, which can dry out and crack the leather.- Conditioning: Periodically apply a leather conditioner to keep the leather supple and prevent cracking.- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.- Avoid: Do not machine wash or tumble dry, as this can damage the leather and structural integrity of the shoe.
