Product Information

Full details

The adidas Handball Spezial is an iconic, low-profile trainer designed for fashion-conscious adults who value vintage aesthetic and everyday versatility. Originally engineered for the 1979 handball courts, this shoe offers a comfortable, lightweight fit suitable for casual daily wear, though its flat sole may not provide the deep arch support required for high-intensity athletic performance.

FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

No, the Handball Spezial is designed for lifestyle and casual wear, not for high-intensity running or gym use.

How do I determine the right size?

These trainers typically fit true to size. We recommend ordering your standard UK adult shoe size.

Are these trainers made of leather?

Yes, this specific model is constructed with high-quality leather, though other variants in the series may feature suede.

Can I wash these in a washing machine?

We do not recommend machine washing, as it can damage the leather, glue, and animal print patterns. Manual cleaning is best.

Do they provide good grip?

Yes, the gum rubber outsole provides excellent traction on everyday walking surfaces.

Troubleshooting

Creasing on the leather upper

Use shoe trees when not in use to maintain the shape of the trainer and minimize deep creasing.

Dirt buildup on the gum outsole

Use a soft-bristled brush to gently scrub the rubber grooves and remove debris.

Staining on the leather

Use a dedicated leather cleaner or a slightly damp cloth to gently blot the stain; avoid scrubbing vigorously.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Versatile, timeless low-profile design
  • Durable leather upper construction
  • Reliable gum rubber outsole grip
  • Lightweight for all-day comfort
  • Distinctive animal print pattern

Cons

  • Minimal arch support compared to modern running shoes
  • Flat sole may not suit all foot types
  • Requires maintenance to keep leather and print clean

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Because these trainers arrive ready-to-wear, no formal setup is required. To ensure your Handball Spezials last, keep them away from excessive water and mud. Clean the leather surface using a soft, damp cloth and mild soap; avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the animal print pattern. For optimal fit, ensure you are wearing the correct UK size, as the leather material will soften and accommodate your foot shape slightly over time. Store the shoes in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to prevent the leather from cracking or the colour from fading.
