Product Information

Full details

The Adidas Handball Spezial Trainers are for adults seeking a blend of vintage style and everyday comfort. Their key benefit is offering a timeless aesthetic with durable construction suitable for casual wear. A potential caveat is that while inspired by elite handball performance, they are now primarily a lifestyle shoe. These trainers feature a suede upper, synthetic lining, and a classic gum rubber outsole, designed for both visual appeal and lasting wear.

FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for playing handball?

While inspired by the original handball shoes, these are primarily designed as lifestyle and casual wear trainers. They do not offer the specialized support or performance features required for competitive handball.

How do I clean the suede material?

Use a dedicated suede brush for general cleaning. For stains, use a suede-specific cleaner and a lightly damp cloth, always testing on a small area first. Avoid excessive water.

What is the sole made of?

The sole is made of gum rubber, which provides good grip and contributes to the classic aesthetic of the shoe.

What is the COLD CEMENT construction?

This refers to the method used to attach the sole to the upper. It's a durable construction technique suitable for casual footwear.

Are these trainers available in other colors or sizes?

The Adidas Handball Spezial series is available in various colors and sizes. Please check the product listing or retailer for current availability.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

It is not recommended to wear suede shoes in wet conditions as water can stain and damage the material. The gum rubber sole offers some traction but is not designed for slippery or wet surfaces.

What is the best way to store these trainers?

Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape and prevent creasing.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dull or dirty

Use a suede brush to restore the nap and remove surface dirt. For stains, consult a specialized suede cleaner, testing on an inconspicuous area first.

Gum sole is scuffed

Minor scuffs can often be buffed out with a soft cloth or a magic eraser (use with caution). For deeper marks, they may be permanent signs of use.

Laces are worn or dirty

Replace laces with a similar style or color. Clean existing laces by hand washing with mild soap and water.

Fit feels too tight

Wear the shoes with thin socks initially. Consider using a shoe stretcher if the tightness is persistent and uncomfortable.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Timeless, vintage aesthetic suitable for various outfits.
  • Durable suede upper and rubber outsole for long-lasting wear.
  • Comfortable for everyday use thanks to the synthetic lining and gum sole.
  • Versatile for casual outings and city exploration.
  • Authentic retro design with iconic Adidas branding.

Cons

  • Not designed for actual handball performance; primarily a lifestyle shoe.
  • Suede material may require specific care to maintain appearance.
  • Limited arch support compared to modern performance footwear.
  • Gum sole can show scuffs more readily than darker soles.
  • Fit might be snug for those with wider feet.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

These trainers require no specific setup beyond lacing them up. Ensure the laces are threaded through all eyelets for a secure fit.

Compatibility:

These trainers are designed for adult men. They are compatible with a wide range of casual outfits. Specific sizing information (UK 7) is provided for this variant.

Care:

  • Cleaning the Suede Upper: Use a suede brush to remove loose dirt and dust. For tougher stains, a specialized suede cleaner and a damp cloth may be used sparingly. Avoid soaking the suede.
  • Cleaning the Rubber Outsole: Wipe clean with a damp cloth. For stubborn marks, a mild soap can be used.
  • Lining: The synthetic lining can be wiped with a damp cloth if needed.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading and material degradation. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
