FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for sports?
While inspired by court shoes, the adidas Handball Spezial is primarily designed for casual wear and lifestyle purposes. They offer good traction for everyday activities but are not recommended for high-impact or professional sports.
How do I clean the suede material?
Use a suede brush to remove loose dirt and restore the nap. For stains, a specialized suede cleaner is recommended. Always test cleaning products on a small, hidden area first and avoid using water directly on the suede.
What is the purpose of the gum rubber outsole?
The gum rubber outsole provides excellent grip and traction, a feature carried over from their original handball court design. This makes them suitable for various surfaces during everyday wear.
Does the Ortholite sockliner offer arch support?
The Ortholite sockliner is designed to adapt to the wearer's foot shape for lasting comfort and a personalized fit. While it provides cushioning, specific arch support levels may vary depending on individual foot structure.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
It is not recommended to wear suede trainers in wet conditions, as water can damage the suede material and cause discoloration. If they do get wet, dry them naturally away from direct heat.
What does the "Handball Spezial" gold foil text signify?
The gold foil "Handball Spezial" text is a signature branding element that appears on the lateral (side) quarter of the shoe, adding a premium and authentic detail to the design.
Are there other colorways or collaborations available?
The adidas Handball Spezial model has been released in various colorways and collaborations over time. This specific guide focuses on the Dark Green variant with Sporty & Rich detailing.
Troubleshooting
Suede losing its texture or looking worn.
Gently brush the suede with a suede brush to restore its nap. For persistent marks, use a dedicated suede cleaner and follow the product's instructions.
Discoloration from water or stains.
Avoid getting suede wet. For fresh stains, try to blot them immediately. Use specialized suede cleaning products for best results, and test on an inconspicuous area first.
Gum rubber outsole appears dirty.
Wipe the outsole clean with a damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by wiping with a clean, damp cloth.
Initial tightness or discomfort.
Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow them to break in. The Ortholite sockliner is designed to adapt to your foot shape over time.
