FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for playing handball?
While inspired by court design, these trainers are primarily intended for casual wear and fashion. They offer good grip and some support but do not possess the specialized features for professional handball play.
How do I clean the green suede material?
Use a dedicated suede brush for dry dirt. For stains, try a suede eraser. Avoid water, and if they get wet, let them air dry naturally. Specialized suede cleaning products can also be used.
What is the purpose of the gum rubber outsole?
The gum rubber outsole provides authentic retro styling and reliable traction on various surfaces, typical of classic court shoes.
How does the Ortholite sockliner contribute to comfort?
The Ortholite sockliner offers long-lasting cushioning, breathability, and moisture management, helping to keep your feet comfortable throughout the day.
Will the gold foil branding wear off?
The gold foil branding is applied for aesthetic detail. With normal wear and proper care, it should remain intact. Avoid abrasive cleaning methods directly on the branding.
What is the main difference between this and other Handball Spezial models?
This specific model, the Sporty & Rich x adidas Handball Spezial, features a unique dark green suede upper with white leather stripes and specific branding details like the gold heel tab, differentiating it from other colorways or collaborations.
Are these trainers unisex?
This particular listing is for an adult male size 9.5. While the Handball Spezial silhouette is often popular across genders, this specific product's sizing and marketing are geared towards men.
Troubleshooting
Suede color transfer onto socks
This can sometimes happen with new suede. It's often due to excess dye. Ensure the inside of the shoe is dry. Wearing darker socks can help mask any minor transfer. If excessive, consider a fabric protector spray specifically for suede.
Creasing on the suede upper
Creasing is natural with suede and leather footwear over time. To minimize it, ensure a proper fit and use shoe trees when not in use to help maintain the shoe's shape.
Gum sole showing scuff marks
Minor scuff marks on the gum sole can often be removed with a clean eraser or a damp cloth. For stubborn marks, a specialized sole cleaner might be used, but test in an inconspicuous area first.
Discomfort during initial wear
The Ortholite sockliner is designed to adapt to your foot. Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow them to break in. Ensure the laces are not tied too tightly.
