Product Information

Full details

The adidas Handball Spezial is an iconic, low-profile trainer designed for fashion-conscious adults who appreciate a retro sporting aesthetic. Originally crafted for the handball courts of 1979, these sneakers blend a signature T-toe design with a unique animal-patterned suede finish for a standout look. While they offer excellent everyday comfort and grip, it is important to note that the suede material requires diligent maintenance to preserve its appearance and texture over time.

FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

Yes, the adidas Handball Spezial typically fits true to your standard adidas size. If you are between sizes, consider sizing up for more room in the toe box.

Can I wear these in the rain?

It is not recommended. The suede upper is susceptible to water damage and staining. If they do get wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from heat sources.

How do I clean the white sections of the shoe?

Use a damp, lint-free cloth with a small amount of mild soap to spot-clean the white leather or synthetic details. Avoid contact with the suede.

Does this model provide arch support?

The Handball Spezial features a flat design with standard cushioning. It does not contain specialized high-arch support, making it better suited for casual wear.

Is the material real suede?

Yes, this model utilizes suede as part of its premium construction.

Troubleshooting

Suede looks dull or flat

Gently use a soft-bristled suede brush to lift the fibers and restore the texture.

Stubborn surface stains

Use a specialized suede eraser to gently rub the affected area, then brush away the debris.

Outer sole shows debris buildup

Use a soft brush or a damp cloth to clean the gum rubber grooves to maintain maximum traction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Handball Spezial trainers stay in optimal condition, proper care is essential, especially given the suede composition.

  1. Protective Spray: Apply a dedicated water and stain repellent spray for suede before your first wear to provide a protective barrier against the elements.
  2. Cleaning: Use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt and restore the nap of the material. Avoid soaking the shoes in water.
  3. Storage: Keep your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading of the suede.
  4. Compatibility: These trainers feature a standard lace-up closure that allows for an adjustable fit. If you prefer a different look, they are compatible with standard flat or thin-width replacement laces.
