The Handball Spezial is considered iconic due to its long history originating as a handball shoe in the 1970s and its enduring design that has transitioned into a popular lifestyle sneaker, recognized for its classic silhouette and quality materials.
While originally designed for handball, this particular lifestyle version is best suited for casual wear. Modern athletic shoes offer specialized support and features for sports performance.
Refer to the brand's official size chart, which typically provides measurements in centimeters or inches corresponding to UK, US, and EU shoe sizes. Generally, UK 9.5 is a standard men's size.
The oiled leather offers some resistance, but they are not waterproof. It is recommended to avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain and to treat them with a water-repellent spray for added protection. Always dry them naturally if they get wet.
Oiled leather is treated with oils during the tanning process, making it softer, more flexible, and water-resistant compared to regular leather. It often has a richer patina and may require specific conditioning products.
The Handball Spezial series is available in various colorways. While this guide focuses on the brown and white model, other options may exist depending on the current adidas Originals collection.
They offer good comfort for casual wear and moderate walking thanks to their leather construction and rubber sole. However, they do not feature the advanced cushioning technologies found in specialized walking or running shoes.
Apply a suitable leather conditioner to rehydrate the material. Ensure you are using a product designed for oiled leather.
This can sometimes happen with dyed leather. Ensure you are using a mild cleaner and a soft cloth. For significant issues, consult a professional shoe cleaner.
Replace the laces with a new pair of similar length and material. It is recommended to use flat-woven laces for this style of shoe.
Normal wear and tear is expected. For significant damage, consider professional shoe repair services, though replacement of the sole is often not cost-effective for this type of footwear.
Setup:
These shoes require no initial setup beyond lacing them to your preferred fit.
Compatibility:
The Handball Spezial is designed as a lifestyle shoe and is compatible with a wide range of casual and smart-casual outfits. It is not designed for high-performance athletic activities.
