FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for playing handball or other sports?

No, while the design is inspired by the classic Handball Spezial, this specific Sporty & Rich collaboration is intended for lifestyle and casual wear, not for athletic performance or sports.

What is the primary material of these sneakers?

The primary material is premium suede for the upper, with contrasting white leather for the 3-Stripes and co-branded leather insoles. The outsole is semi-translucent gum rubber.

How do I ensure the gold-foil detailing lasts?

Avoid abrasive cleaning methods on the gold-foil areas. Gently wipe with a soft, dry cloth if needed. Excessive rubbing or harsh chemicals can damage the foil.

Are these true to size?

Adidas shoes typically fit true to size. However, fit can vary slightly by individual foot shape. It's recommended to try them on if possible or refer to Adidas's official size guide.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

Suede is not ideal for wet conditions as it can stain and become damaged. It's best to avoid wearing these shoes in rain or heavy moisture. Applying a water and stain repellent spray specifically designed for suede can offer some protection.

What makes this collaboration special?

The Sporty & Rich collaboration gives the iconic Handball Spezial an elevated and minimalist aesthetic with premium materials like suede and unique gold-foil branding, setting it apart with a timeless, luxurious feel.

Troubleshooting

Suede looks dull or matted.

Use a dedicated suede brush to restore the nap of the suede. Brush in one direction to even out the fibers. For stubborn spots, a suede eraser can be effective.

White 3-Stripes or laces are dirty.

For leather stripes, gently wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap. For laces, remove them and hand wash with a gentle detergent, then air dry.

Outsole feels slippery.

Clean the gum outsole thoroughly using a brush and mild soap to remove any accumulated dirt, dust, or residue that might be reducing traction.

Shoes develop an odor.

Remove insoles and air out shoes. Sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes overnight to absorb odors. Consider using odor-absorbing inserts.

  • Cleaning Leather: Wipe leather sections with a damp cloth and mild soap (if necessary). Use a leather conditioner periodically to keep the leather soft and prevent cracking.
  • Cleaning Gum Outsole: Use a soft brush (like an old toothbrush) and mild soap or sneaker cleaner to scrub the outsole. Rinse with a damp cloth.
  • Drying: Always air dry sneakers away from direct heat or sunlight to prevent material damage.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees or crumpled paper inside to help maintain their shape.
