FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for serious sports?
While based on a 1979 handball shoe, this velvet version is designed for lifestyle and casual wear rather than high-impact athletic performance.
How do I clean the velvet material?
Use a soft brush to remove dirt. If necessary, use a slightly damp cloth for light spot cleaning, but avoid soaking the velvet.
Does the velvet material stretch?
Like most fabric footwear, it may soften slightly with wear, but it will not stretch significantly like raw leather.
Is the insole removable?
The internal EVA insole is designed to be integrated, though it can usually be replaced with custom orthotics if needed.
What is the best way to store these shoes?
Store them in a breathable shoe bag or box in a temperature-controlled environment to protect the velvet from dust and humidity.
Troubleshooting
Visible dust or lint on the velvet surface
Use a specialized suede or velvet brush to gently lift the nap and remove particles.
Creasing near the toe box
Insert high-quality shoe trees when not in use to help the velvet maintain its shape.
Minor water spots
Allow the shoe to air dry naturally away from heat sources, then use a dry soft brush to restore the texture.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your adidas Handball Spezial stays in pristine condition, keep them away from heavy rain or muddy terrain. If the velvet gets dusty, use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove surface debris, moving in the direction of the fabric grain. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or high-pressure water, as these can permanently mat or discolor the velvet material. When storing, keep the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading of the vibrant green and pink tones.
