FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for professional sports?
While inspired by athletic heritage, these trainers are primarily designed for casual wear and style. For professional sports, specialized performance footwear is recommended.
How do I clean the crocodile print parts?
Gently wipe the print areas with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the finish.
What is the main material of the upper?
The main material of the upper is premium suede, with crocodile print overlays adding texture.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
It is not recommended to wear suede footwear in wet conditions, as water can stain and damage the material. The rubber sole offers some protection, but the suede upper is sensitive to moisture.
Do these trainers come in other colours?
This specific model, the Handball Spezial Croc, focuses on the black colourway. Other variations of the Handball Spezial may be available in different colours and materials.
What does 'Spezial' mean?
'Spezial' is a German word meaning 'special'. In the context of adidas, it often refers to shoes designed for specific sports or as a premium line of lifestyle sneakers.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears matted or dirty
Gently brush the suede with a dedicated suede brush to lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For stubborn marks, use a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner.
Colour fading
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or heat, as this can cause the suede and print to fade. Store away from direct light when not in use.
Traction feels reduced
Ensure the rubber outsole is clean and free from debris. Wipe it with a damp cloth if necessary. The traction may also naturally decrease with significant wear.
