The adidas Handball Spezial is a versatile, vintage-inspired trainer designed for adults seeking a blend of classic terrace aesthetics and modern everyday comfort. Originally engineered for elite handball athletes in 1979, these shoes feature a durable suede upper and a signature gum rubber outsole, making them a stylish choice for casual street wear. While they provide excellent comfort through an OrthoLite sock liner, potential buyers should note that the suede material requires careful maintenance to preserve its texture and appearance over time.

Yes, the adidas Handball Spezial is designed with a regular fit that accommodates standard foot sizes.
While originally designed for handball in 1979, they are now marketed as casual trainers and are not recommended for modern high-performance athletics.
You can clean the outsole using a damp cloth and a mild soap solution, then wipe it dry with a clean towel.
No, the suede upper is not waterproof. We recommend applying a suede-specific water repellent spray before wearing them in damp conditions.
The OrthoLite sock liner provides long-term cushioning, high-level breathability, and moisture-wicking properties to keep your feet comfortable.
Use a specialized suede brush or a clean eraser to gently lift the nap of the material and restore its texture.
Apply a small amount of suede-safe cleaning solution with a soft cloth, let it air dry, and brush the area once completely dry.
Ensure the laces are threaded properly through the eyelets and consider a double knot if the laces tend to slip during long walks.
For the best fit, ensure you select your standard UK size as the Handball Spezial follows a regular fit profile. To maintain the appearance of your trainers, it is recommended to use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt and debris regularly. For deeper cleaning, utilize a specialized suede cleaner and protector spray to guard against moisture and potential stains. Avoid machine washing or submerging the shoes in water, as this can damage the suede texture and compromise the adhesive used for the gum rubber sole.
