Product Information

Full details

The adidas Handball Spezial is an iconic, heritage-inspired trainer designed for adults seeking a blend of retro aesthetic and daily-wear comfort. Featuring a premium suede upper and signature gum outsole, these shoes are perfect for lifestyle use and casual outings. While they offer exceptional style and reliability, the suede material requires proactive care to protect against moisture and stains, making them less ideal for harsh or wet weather conditions.

FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

Yes, the Handball Spezial generally fits true to size. If you are between sizes, consider your preference for a snug vs. relaxed fit.

Can I put these in the washing machine?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it will damage the suede material and adhesive components.

What is the primary material used for the upper?

The upper is constructed from high-quality, durable suede.

Are these suitable for indoor sports?

While originally designed for handball, they are now marketed primarily as lifestyle fashion trainers.

How do I keep the cream detailing clean?

Use a damp cloth with mild soap to wipe down the cream-colored sections, being careful not to get the suede material wet.

Does the gold foil branding peel off?

Like any printed branding, avoid scrubbing the tongue area directly to ensure the gold foil lasts longer.

Troubleshooting

Visible dust on the suede surface

Gently use a dry, soft-bristled suede brush in one direction to lift dirt away.

Water spots on the material

Allow the shoes to dry completely at room temperature, then brush the nap of the suede to restore its texture.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

  • Sizing: These trainers follow standard UK adult sizing. It is recommended to choose your regular size for the best fit.
