Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
The adidas Handball Spezial features a standard lace-up closure. To ensure the best fit, loosen the laces completely, slide your foot in, and then tighten the laces from the toe upwards, securing them comfortably without excessive pressure. The regular fit accommodates most foot shapes.
Compatibility:
These sneakers are highly versatile and complement a wide range of casual and retro-inspired outfits. They pair well with:
- Denim jeans (straight leg, slim fit)
- Chinos or casual trousers
- Shorts
- Tracksuits or athletic-inspired streetwear
- Vintage t-shirts and hoodies
Care:
Maintaining the suede upper is key to preserving its look and durability:
- Cleaning: Use a specialized suede brush to gently remove loose dirt and dust. For tougher stains, use a suede cleaner specifically designed for the material. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first.
- Protection: Apply a suede protector spray before first wear and periodically thereafter to repel water and stains.
- Drying: If the shoes get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and maintain their shape, then allow them to air dry away from direct heat. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the suede.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
