Product Information

Full details

The adidas Originals x Care Bears Handball Spezial trainers are designed for adult fans of classic terrace footwear who appreciate a blend of nostalgic aesthetics and premium materials. These shoes offer a unique, tactile experience thanks to their soft velvet upper and iconic silhouette, making them a standout choice for casual, everyday styling. One key caveat to note is that the delicate velvet material requires more careful maintenance than standard leather or synthetic sneakers to ensure the finish remains vibrant over time.

FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

The adidas Handball Spezial generally fits true to size for most adults, though those with wider feet may prefer to go up by a half size due to the structural nature of the upper.

Can I put these in the washing machine?

No, you should never place velvet trainers in a washing machine, as the water and agitation will permanently damage the velvet texture and color.

What is the primary material used?

The upper of this specific model is crafted from soft velvet, providing a unique tactile feel and premium look.

Are these trainers waterproof?

These shoes are not waterproof. We recommend avoiding wear in heavy rain to prevent water staining and potential damage to the velvet material.

Can I use a standard leather protector spray?

No, you should only use sprays specifically designed for velvet or delicate textiles. Test the spray on a small, inconspicuous area first.

Troubleshooting

Visible dust on the velvet upper

Use a soft, dry clothes brush or a specialized suede/velvet brush to gently sweep away dust in the direction of the fabric grain.

Material flattened or marked by pressure

Hold the affected area briefly over a small amount of steam to help lift the fibers, then gently brush them back into place while they are warm.

Minor liquid spills on the shoe

Immediately blot the area with a dry microfiber towel. Do not wipe or scrub, as this pushes the liquid deeper into the velvet pile.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Unique and eye-catching velvet texture
  • Classic, timeless silhouette that pairs well with denim or casual trousers
  • Limited-edition aesthetic featuring unique collaborative details
  • Reliable and stable rubber outsole for daily usage

Cons

  • Velvet material is susceptible to staining and water damage
  • Requires specialized cleaning techniques
  • More limited availability due to collaborative nature

Setup, Compatibility & Care

These trainers require no specific setup; they feature a standard lace-up closure that allows you to adjust the tension for your preferred fit. When it comes to compatibility, the blue-and-white colorway is versatile enough to be worn with light-wash jeans, skirts, or athletic wear. Care is the most critical aspect of ownership: because the upper is made of velvet, avoid getting the shoes wet. To clean, use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove surface dust or dirt, following the direction of the velvet fibers. If a spill occurs, blot the area immediately with a clean, dry cloth—do not rub, as this can crush the fibers and leave a permanent mark.
