Full details

The Adidas Handball Spezial Trainers are ideal for adults seeking a blend of retro style and everyday comfort. Their key benefit lies in their timeless design, updated with a fresh color palette for modern appeal. A potential caveat is that the suede material may require specific care to maintain its appearance. These shoes, originally a pro indoor model from 1979, are now a street staple, offering a soft suede construction, signature 3-Stripes, and a low-profile silhouette for effortless style.

FAQs

Are the Adidas Handball Spezial Trainers suitable for playing handball?

While inspired by a pro indoor model, the current Handball Spezial is primarily designed for lifestyle and casual wear. They offer good grip but may lack the specific support and cushioning required for intense athletic performance in sports like handball.

How do I clean the suede material on these trainers?

Use a suede brush for general dirt removal. For stains, a suede eraser or a slightly damp cloth works best. Always allow the shoes to air dry naturally and avoid direct heat or excessive moisture.

What is the fit like for the Handball Spezial?

These trainers typically have a regular fit. The low-profile silhouette emphasizes a light step. It's recommended to consult a size chart or try them on if possible, as individual foot shapes can vary.

Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?

The suede material is not ideal for very wet conditions as it can stain and damage the material. It's best to wear them in dry or mildly damp weather. Applying a suede protector spray can offer some water resistance.

What does the 'Spezial' branding mean?

'Spezial' is German for 'special'. In the context of Adidas, it refers to a line of footwear that often revives classic designs or offers premium versions of iconic models, celebrating the brand's heritage.

Are there different material options for the Handball Spezial?

While the classic Handball Spezial is known for its suede upper, some variations might incorporate leather or synthetic materials. The specific materials for your model are usually detailed in the product description.

Troubleshooting

Suede material looks dirty or stained

Use a dedicated suede brush to gently remove dry dirt. For tougher stains, try a suede eraser or a slightly damp cloth, ensuring you don't oversaturate the material. Always allow the shoes to air dry completely away from heat.

Shoe laces fraying or breaking

Replace the laces with standard shoe laces of a similar length and material. You can find replacements at most shoe stores or online retailers.

Uneven wear on the rubber sole

Ensure you are walking with a natural gait. If the wear is significant and consistent, it might indicate an underlying fit issue or a need for professional assessment, though this is rare with normal use.

Color transfer from suede to socks or clothing

This can sometimes occur with new suede items, especially in darker colors or when wet. Ensure the shoes are fully dry before wear. If the problem persists, consider using a suede waterproofing spray, testing it on an inconspicuous area first.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Timeless retro design that remains stylish.
  • Comfortable due to the soft suede and low-profile construction.
  • Versatile for everyday wear, from casual outings to events.
  • Durable rubber outsole offers good traction.
  • Distinctive colorways and branding appeal to sneaker enthusiasts.

Cons

  • Suede material requires careful maintenance and cleaning.
  • May not offer advanced athletic support for high-impact sports.
  • The low-profile design might not suit those preferring more ankle support.
  • Can be perceived as a fashion item rather than a performance shoe.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These shoes come ready to wear. Ensure you have selected the correct size for optimal comfort.

Compatibility: The Handball Spezial Trainers are designed as unisex adult footwear. They are compatible with a wide range of casual outfits, including jeans, shorts, joggers, and casual trousers.

Care Instructions:

  • Suede Care: For general cleaning, use a suede brush to remove loose dirt. For stains, a damp cloth can be used sparingly, followed by air drying. Avoid harsh chemicals or soaking the shoes.
  • Leather Accents: Wipe any leather parts with a slightly damp cloth and allow to dry naturally.
  • Outsole: Clean the rubber outsole with a brush and water if necessary.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading and material degradation. Consider using shoe trees to maintain their shape.
