FAQs

What material is the upper of these trainers made from?

The upper is crafted from premium suede material.

Are these shoes suitable for sports or athletic activities?

No, the adidas Originals Handball Spezial is designed as a lifestyle and casual shoe, offering style and comfort for everyday wear, not for high-performance sports.

How do I best clean the brown suede?

For cleaning the suede, use a specialized suede brush to remove dirt. For stains, a suede eraser or dedicated suede cleaner is recommended. Avoid excessive water and always let them air dry naturally.

Is this model available in adult sizes?

This specific product is described as 'juniors'' trainers. Please check official adidas retailers for adult sizing availability of the Handball Spezial model, as product lines can vary.

What kind of outsole do these trainers have?

They feature a durable gum rubber outsole, which provides good traction and contributes to the shoe's classic aesthetic.

What is the product's MPN (Manufacturer Product Number)?

The MPN for this model is JI0453.

Do these trainers run true to size?

Info needed: [General advice for adidas footwear sizing, e.g., most adidas models tend to run true to size, but checking the adidas size guide and customer reviews for specific fit feedback is always recommended].

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dirty or stained.

Use a specialized suede brush to gently remove loose dirt. For tougher stains, use a suede eraser or a small amount of specialized suede cleaner applied with a clean cloth. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.

Trainers feel too tight or uncomfortable.

Ensure you have the correct size. The 'juniors'' designation might mean a different fit profile. Laces can be adjusted for a more comfortable fit. A brief break-in period may also be required for new footwear.

Laces frequently come undone.

Try a different lacing technique, such as a double knot (surgeon's knot), to secure the laces more effectively. Ensure laces are tied firmly but not too tightly to cut off circulation.

Sole makes a squeaking noise.

Info needed: [Common squeaky shoe sole solutions, e.g., check for trapped debris, apply talcum powder or cornstarch under the insole if it's rubbing, ensure the outsole is clean and dry].

Suede nap looks matted or uneven.

Gently brush the suede with a dedicated suede brush, always brushing in the same direction, to lift the nap and restore its uniform appearance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Getting started with your adidas Originals Handball Spezial trainers is straightforward, and proper care will ensure their longevity.

Setup

Simply unlace, slip your foot in, and lace them up to your desired tightness. The tonal lace-up fastening allows for a custom, secure fit. Adjust the laces to ensure your foot feels snug but not constricted.

Compatibility

These trainers are designed for casual compatibility:

  • Apparel: Best paired with casual clothing such as jeans, shorts, casual trousers, chinos, and track pants. They complement both relaxed and smart-casual styles.
  • Activities: Ideal for daily wear, light walking, social gatherings, and casual outings. They are not designed for high-performance sports or heavy athletic training.

Care Instructions

As these trainers feature a premium suede upper, specific care is required to maintain their appearance and extend their lifespan:

  1. Initial Protection: Consider applying a suede protector spray before the first wear. This helps repel water and stains.
  2. Regular Cleaning: Use a dedicated suede brush to gently remove dirt and dust from the surface. Brush in one direction to maintain the nap of the suede.
  3. Spot Cleaning: For specific stains, use a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner following the product's instructions. Test on an inconspicuous area first.
  4. Avoid Water Saturation: Suede is sensitive to water. Avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions. If they do get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and air dry away from direct heat.
  5. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
  6. Outsole Cleaning: Wipe the gum rubber outsole with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove dirt. Ensure no soap residue gets on the suede.
