This version of the adidas Originals Handball Spezial features a durable pigskin nubuck suede upper for a supple feel.
While inspired by original handball shoes, the adidas Originals Handball Spezial is now primarily celebrated for its classic style and comfort, making it best suited for casual, everyday wear rather than athletic performance.
For the nubuck suede upper, use a specialized suede brush to remove dirt. For stains, a dedicated suede cleaner is recommended. Avoid harsh chemicals and excessive water. The gum rubber outsole can be wiped clean with a damp cloth.
The shoes come with an OrthoLite® sockliner, which provides enhanced cushioning and contributes to overall foot comfort and support.
The Handball Spezial features a regular fit. Most users find them true to their standard shoe size. However, personal fit preference can vary.
Nubuck suede is generally not water-resistant and can be damaged by heavy rain or moisture. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in wet conditions or to use a protective suede spray.
They feature a soft gum rubber outsole, which maintains their vintage aesthetic and provides reliable traction.
Use a specialized nubuck/suede brush to gently restore the nap and remove surface dirt. For deeper scuffs, a suede eraser might be helpful.
Adjust the lace closure to find the most comfortable fit. The regular fit typically conforms to your foot after a few wears. If consistently uncomfortable, check sizing guides.
Address stains immediately with a nubuck/suede cleaner or a damp cloth (for very light, fresh stains) and follow the product's instructions. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
The adidas Originals Handball Spezial features a standard lace closure, allowing for easy adjustment to achieve a secure and comfortable fit. These shoes are compatible with various casual outfits, from jeans and shorts to more refined casual wear, making them a versatile addition to any wardrobe. To care for your Handball Spezial shoes, especially the nubuck suede upper, it is crucial to use appropriate cleaning methods. Regularly brush off dirt with a specialized suede brush to maintain the nap. For stains, use a suede cleaner and follow the product instructions carefully. Avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions, as moisture can damage the suede. If they do get wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat. The gum rubber outsole can be wiped clean with a damp cloth. Store them in a cool, dry place to prevent material degradation. Regular maintenance will preserve their iconic look and extend their lifespan.
