For basic cleaning, use a soft suede brush to remove loose dirt. For stains, apply a specialized suede cleaner as per its instructions. It's crucial to avoid soaking the shoes or using harsh detergents, as water can damage suede.

Adidas sneakers generally run true to size. We recommend ordering your usual UK shoe size for the best fit. If you are unsure, it's always best to consult a size chart or try them on.

It is not recommended to wear suede sneakers in heavy rain or wet conditions as water can cause staining and damage to the material. Applying a water-repellent suede protector can offer some defense against light moisture.

The Handball Spezial model was originally launched in the late 1970s as a specialized indoor sports shoe for handball players, known for its agile design and grip. Today, it has been re-imagined as a classic lifestyle sneaker, retaining its distinctive vintage appeal.

Regularly applying a high-quality suede and nubuck protector spray is the most effective way to guard against water, oil, and other stains. Always apply to clean, dry shoes according to the product's instructions.

Gently brush off any loose dirt with a specialized suede brush. For embedded dirt or stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner following its instructions. Avoid scrubbing aggressively to prevent damage to the suede nap.

Use a suede brush to gently restore the nap. Brush in short, light strokes in a single direction to lift the fibers and revive the texture.

Wear the sneakers for shorter periods at first. The premium suede and rubber sole will gradually soften and conform to the shape of your foot, improving comfort over time.

Allow the sneakers to air dry completely. Once dry, gently brush the affected area with a suede brush. For stubborn spots, a suede eraser might help, followed by brushing.
