FAQs

What is the primary material of the adidas Handball Spezial trainers?

The trainers feature an upper made from a combination of genuine leather and soft suede.

Are these trainers suitable for playing handball or other sports?

While inspired by handball shoes, these trainers are designed for casual wear and everyday comfort, not for high-impact sports.

How should I clean the suede parts of the shoes?

Use a soft brush for dry dirt and a specialized suede cleaner for stains. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first and allow to air dry.

What does 'Gum4 sole' refer to?

Gum4 refers to a specific type of durable rubber compound used for the outsole, known for its grip and classic aesthetic.

Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the leather, suede, and sole construction. Hand cleaning is the preferred method.

What is the main inspiration behind the Handball Spezial design?

The design is inspired by classic adidas sports heritage from the 1970s, particularly handball footwear of that era.

Do these trainers come in other colours besides Grey One and Core Black?

The 'Grey One/Core Black/Gum4' is a specific colourway. While this model series often has various colour options available, this guide focuses on this particular variant.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable.

Ensure the laces are properly adjusted. If still uncomfortable, consider wearing them for short periods to break them in, or consult sizing guides for potential exchanges if they are significantly the wrong size.

Suede material looks dirty or stained.

Use a suede eraser for dry marks. For tougher stains, apply a dedicated suede cleaner sparingly, following product instructions. Brush the suede afterwards to restore its texture.

Gum sole shows scuff marks.

Minor scuff marks can often be removed with a magic eraser or a damp cloth. For persistent marks, consult specialized shoe cleaning products.

Laces are fraying or worn out.

Replace the laces with a new pair of similar length and material. This is a simple way to refresh the appearance of the trainers.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning: Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt from the suede and leather. For tougher stains on suede, use a specialized suede cleaner. Leather parts can be wiped with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid machine washing.
  • Drying: If the shoes get wet, stuff them with paper to help maintain their shape and allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat or sunlight.
  • Protection: Consider using a suede protector spray to help guard against water and stains, especially for the suede accents.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag or their original box, to protect them from dust and damage.
