Product Information

Full details

The adidas Handball Spezial trainers are designed for individuals who appreciate timeless, heritage-inspired footwear that bridges the gap between vintage sport roots and modern casual aesthetics. The key benefit of this model is its combination of a comfortable, season-ready synthetic lining and a durable, high-grip gum rubber outsole that performs well on city streets. One notable caveat is that the suede construction requires careful cleaning and moisture management to maintain its appearance over time.

FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for handball?

While originally designed for handball in 1979, the modern iteration is intended as a lifestyle fashion sneaker and is not recommended for high-impact competitive indoor sports.

How do I clean my suede Handball Spezial shoes?

Use a specialized suede brush for light cleaning. For deeper cleaning, use products explicitly formulated for suede, avoiding water whenever possible.

Are these trainers waterproof?

No, the suede upper is not waterproof. It is recommended to use a protective suede spray to provide a layer of water resistance.

Do they run true to size?

Yes, they generally follow standard adidas sizing; however, since they have a low-profile fit, some users prefer a half-size up if they wear thicker socks.

Can I wash these in a washing machine?

No, never submerge suede shoes in a washing machine, as it will damage the material and the structural integrity of the shoe.

What is the purpose of the gum rubber sole?

The gum rubber sole provides the classic vintage look while offering excellent grip and traction for daily walking on city surfaces.

Troubleshooting

Visible dust or dry dirt on the suede

Use a soft-bristled suede brush to gently stroke the material in the direction of the grain.

Small water spots on the surface

Allow the shoes to dry completely at room temperature, then use a suede eraser or brush to restore the texture.

General dullness of the suede color

Apply a suede-safe revitalizing spray or conditioner specifically designed for light-colored suede.

Pros and Cons

Cons

  • Suede material is prone to staining from liquids

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Handball Spezial trainers last, regular maintenance is essential. Because they are made of suede, you should avoid heavy water exposure. If they get wet, air dry them naturally away from direct heat sources to prevent the material from cracking or hardening. Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dust and dirt from the suede surface. If a stain appears, utilize a dedicated suede cleaning kit. To maintain the shape of the shoe when not in use, consider using shoe trees or stuffing them with paper. For sizing, these follow standard adult sizing; ensure you verify your UK foot size before purchase for the most accurate fit.
