FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

No, the Handball Spezial is designed as a casual lifestyle sneaker, not for long-distance running or high-impact athletics.

How do I keep the suede clean?

Regularly brush the suede with a soft brush and use a specialized suede protector spray to repel moisture and dirt.

Does the shoe fit true to size?

Generally, the Handball Spezial fits true to size, but as with many suede trainers, it may provide a snug fit initially before molding to your foot.

Can I put these in the washing machine?

No, machine washing can damage the suede material and ruin the structure of the shoe.

What is the history of this model?

The Handball Spezial was first introduced in 1979 as a specialized handball shoe before transitioning into a classic street fashion icon.

Troubleshooting

Surface dirt on suede

Use a soft dry brush to gently lift dirt particles in the direction of the suede nap.

Water spots on material

Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature, then brush the suede to restore its texture.

General dullness of colour

Consider using a suede-safe refreshing spray to revive the colour pigment.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Adidas Handball Spezial trainers last, start by applying a suede-specific water repellent spray before your first wear. Compatibility-wise, these trainers pair perfectly with jeans, joggers, or casual trousers, making them highly versatile for a modern wardrobe. To clean them, avoid submerging in water; instead, use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove surface dirt. If stains occur, use a specialized suede eraser or cleaner. Always store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent colour fading.
