FAQs

Are these sneakers suitable for running or sports?

No, the Adidas Originals Handball Spezia is primarily designed for casual wear and fashion purposes, offering style and everyday comfort rather than performance for running or intense sports.

How do I clean the green leather sections?

Gently wipe the leather with a soft, damp cloth using a mild soap solution. For best results, follow up with a leather conditioner to keep the material supple. Air dry naturally.

What's the best way to care for the solar suede overlays?

Use a dedicated suede brush to gently remove dirt and fluff up the nap. For tougher stains, a suede eraser or specialized suede cleaner applied sparingly can be effective.

Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?

While leather offers some protection, prolonged exposure to heavy rain is not recommended, as it can stain or damage both leather and suede. A water-repellent spray designed for mixed materials can offer additional protection.

What does 'Handball Spezia series' mean?

It signifies that these sneakers are part of a collection inspired by Adidas's rich handball heritage. The Spezia model features specific design elements and material choices that pay homage to this athletic lineage while offering a modern, fashion-forward appeal.

Are these shoes true to size?

Adidas Originals footwear generally runs true to size. For this product, it is a UK 8.5. We recommend trying them on to ensure the most comfortable fit for your specific foot shape.

Troubleshooting

Leather or suede appears dull or dirty.

For leather, gently wipe with a damp cloth and a mild leather cleaner. For suede, use a specialized suede brush to remove surface dirt and restore the nap. A suede eraser can help with stubborn marks.

Creasing developing on the leather upper.

This is natural with wear. To minimize, use shoe trees when storing the sneakers. Regular cleaning and conditioning of the leather can also help maintain its suppleness.

Gum outsole losing its grip or looking dirty.

Clean the outsole regularly with a stiff brush or old toothbrush and a mixture of mild soap and water to remove embedded dirt and grime, restoring traction.

Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable on first wear.

Leather can take some time to break in. Wear them for short periods initially. Ensure your lacing isn't too tight. If discomfort persists, verify the size is correct for your foot shape.

Color fading or discoloration.

Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which can fade colors. Store in a cool, dark place. For green leather and suede, specific color restorers or protectors may be available, but always patch test first.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

First Use

  1. Try Them On: Ensure the UK 8.5 size fits comfortably. Laces should be snug but not tight, allowing for natural foot movement.
  2. Lacing Adjustment: Adjust the lacing to your preferred comfort level. You can experiment with different lacing styles for a personalized fit.

Compatibility

  • Wardrobe: Highly compatible with casual and smart-casual wardrobes. The green hue acts as a versatile accent color.
  • Activities: Best suited for daily wear, light urban activities, and social occasions. Not recommended for intense sports or rugged terrain.
  • Weather: The leather offers some resistance to light moisture, but for prolonged exposure to heavy rain or snow, consider using a water-repellent spray designed for leather and suede.

Product Care

To ensure your Adidas Originals Handball Spezia sneakers remain in excellent condition, follow these care guidelines:

  1. General Cleaning: For the leather upper, gently wipe with a soft, damp cloth and a mild soap solution. Wipe away excess moisture with a dry cloth.
  2. Suede Care: For the solar suede overlays, use a dedicated suede brush to gently remove dirt and restore the nap. For tougher spots, a specialized suede cleaner can be used.
  3. Outsole: Clean the gum outsole with a soft brush or sponge and mild soap and water to maintain traction and appearance.
  4. Drying: Always air dry your sneakers away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can damage materials.
  5. Storage: Store them in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees to help maintain their shape and prevent creasing.
  6. Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use harsh detergents, bleach, or machine wash, as these can damage the materials and color.
