FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
No, the Handball Spezial is a lifestyle trainer based on indoor court footwear and lacks the cushioning required for long-distance running.
How should I clean the suede overlays?
Use a suede brush or an eraser designed for suede to remove debris, and avoid getting the suede overly wet.
Does the leather stretch?
The leather upper will soften and mold to your foot over time with regular wear, but it will not stretch significantly in width.
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, they are made of leather and suede, which are porous materials. It is recommended to avoid heavy rain and standing water.
What is the primary inspiration for this design?
The design is inspired by the original 1979 adidas indoor handball shoe, emphasizing a retro 70s sporty silhouette.
Troubleshooting
Creasing on the leather upper
Use a shoe tree when not in use to help the leather maintain its shape and minimize deep creases.
Scuff marks on the suede
Use a specialized suede eraser or a soft gum block to gently lift surface scuffs.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your adidas Handball Spezial trainers in top condition, follow these care guidelines:
- Cleaning: Gently brush off dry dirt from the suede overlays using a soft-bristled brush. Use a damp cloth for the leather sections.
- Moisture Protection: Apply a suede-safe water and stain repellent spray to protect the overlays before wearing them in light rain.
- Storage: Keep your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the leather from fading or cracking.
- Compatibility: These trainers fit standard adult sizing. For the best comfort, ensure you match your UK foot size correctly, as the leather material provides a structured, snug fit that molds slightly to the foot over time.
