FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for playing handball?

While named 'Handball Spezial', these are modern lifestyle trainers designed primarily for casual wear and comfort, not professional sports performance.

What is ADIPRENE®?

ADIPRENE® is an adidas cushioning technology designed to provide comfort and shock absorption in the heel and forefoot, protecting the joint from impact.

How do I know if I have the right size?

Refer to the adidas sizing guide for accurate measurements. Consider your usual fit and any known variations in adidas sizing. Trying them on in person is the most reliable method.

Can I machine wash these trainers?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, adhesives, and cushioning components of the trainers.

What is the main difference between this and other Spezial models?

The 'Spezial' series often features variations in materials, colorways, and specific design elements. This model highlights a black colorway with gold accents and includes specific cushioning technologies like ADIPRENE®.

Is the gold print on the side durable?

The gold 'Spezial' print is designed for durability under normal wear conditions. Avoid excessive rubbing or exposure to harsh cleaning agents to maintain its appearance.

Troubleshooting

Sizing feels slightly off.

Consult the adidas sizing chart and consider trying a half-size up or down if possible. Different models can have slight variations.

Reduced cushioning over time.

Ensure the EVA midsole and ADIPRENE® inserts are clean. While durable, cushioning may naturally decrease with extensive wear.

Traction seems poor on wet surfaces.

The non-marking rubber outsole is designed for general use. Be cautious on very wet or slippery surfaces, as with any casual footwear.

Material feels stiff initially.

This is common with new footwear. Wear them for short periods initially to allow the materials to break in and conform to your foot shape.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Comfortable cushioning with ADIPRENE® inserts.
  • Classic and versatile retro design.
  • Durable construction for everyday use.
  • Good traction from the rubber outsole.
  • Authentic adidas Originals branding.

Cons

  • May require careful attention to sizing.
  • Cotton material may not be ideal for very wet conditions.
  • Specific colorways might sell out quickly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup: These trainers require no specific setup; they are ready to wear out of the box.

Compatibility: Suitable for adult males. The classic design pairs well with casual attire, including jeans, shorts, and track pants.

Care: To maintain the appearance and longevity of your trainers:

  1. Cleaning: Gently clean the upper with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  2. Drying: Allow the trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the materials.
  3. Laces: Remove laces for a more thorough cleaning of the shoe interior if needed. Hand wash laces separately.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
