FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for professional handball play?
While inspired by handball shoes and offering good grip and support for casual play, they are primarily designed as lifestyle and fashion sneakers. For professional play, specialized performance footwear might be more appropriate.
How do I clean the 'Shadow Red' colourway?
The 'Shadow Red' colourway involves suede and potentially leather. Clean suede sections with a dry brush or suede cleaner. Wipe non-suede parts with a damp cloth. Always allow to air dry.
What does the 'Sporty & Rich' collaboration add?
The Sporty & Rich collaboration adds a unique design aesthetic, blending vintage inspiration with a modern, stylish appeal, distinguishing these from the standard Handball Spezial models.
Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?
It is not recommended to wear suede shoes in wet conditions as it can damage the material and affect its appearance. If they get wet, dry them thoroughly and brush the suede once dry.
What is the primary material of the shoe?
The primary materials typically include suede and rubber, with potential leather accents depending on the specific design elements of the collaboration.
Is this shoe available in other colours?
The adidas Handball Spezial line is available in various colours. This specific collaboration with Sporty & Rich has a distinct 'Shadow Red' colourway, but other colourways exist for the general Handball Spezial series.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dirty or stained.
Gently brush away dry dirt. For tougher stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner and a soft cloth, testing on an inconspicuous area first. Avoid using water-based cleaners on suede.
Shoes feel stiff initially.
This is common with new leather and suede. Wear the shoes for short periods to break them in. You can also use a leather conditioner sparingly on non-suede parts if needed.
Laces are worn or damaged.
Replace laces with standard shoelaces of a similar length and colour. Most sporting goods stores offer replacements.
