Setup
Your adidas Originals Handball Spezial sneakers arrive ready to wear. Simply unbox, lace them up to your desired tightness, and you're ready to step out. No complex assembly or preparation is required.

These sneakers are designed for adults and feature a 'regular' fit, making them compatible with most standard foot shapes. They are available in various UK sizes. For accurate sizing, it is always recommended to consult the official adidas sizing chart. The distinct design complements a wide range of casual and street-style outfits, from jeans to skirts.
Care
Maintaining the luxurious velvet and suede upper is crucial for preserving the shoe's appearance. Follow these guidelines to keep your sneakers in pristine condition:
- General Cleaning: For loose dirt and dust, gently brush the entire velvet and suede upper with a soft-bristle suede brush. Always brush in one direction to maintain the nap of the material.
- Spot Cleaning Velvet/Suede: For stubborn marks or stains, use a specialized velvet and suede cleaner. Apply sparingly to a clean cloth, gently dab the affected area, and then brush to restore the nap. Always test the cleaner on an inconspicuous area first.
- Leather Accents: For the 'Clear Pink' leather 3-Stripes and heel tab, wipe with a soft, slightly damp cloth. A mild leather cleaner can be used if necessary, followed by a dry wipe.
- Protection: Consider applying a protective spray specifically designed for suede and velvet before first wear and periodically thereafter. This can help repel water and stains.
- Drying: If your shoes get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and help maintain their shape. Allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources or sunlight, which can damage the materials and fade colors.
- Storage: Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape and prevent creasing.
