Full details
The adidas Handball Spezial is an iconic, low-profile trainer designed for adult men who value a blend of retro court aesthetics and everyday comfort. Featuring a premium leather or suede construction and a reliable rubber outsole, these sneakers offer excellent durability for daily wear. While they provide a stylish and comfortable fit for casual outings, they are primarily fashion-forward lifestyle shoes rather than high-performance athletic equipment for intensive sports.

FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
The Handball Spezial generally fits true to your standard adidas size, though personal preference for fit may vary.
Can I wash these in a washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the leather or suede materials and compromise the adhesive integrity of the sole.
Are these suitable for playing handball?
While inspired by handball heritage, these are lifestyle trainers and lack the modern technical features required for competitive sports.
How do I protect the suede?
Apply a high-quality suede water-repellent spray to create a protective barrier against stains and moisture.
What is the primary difference between the leather and suede models?
The main difference is the material texture and maintenance; leather is smoother and often easier to wipe clean, while suede offers a matte, soft finish that requires brush-based care.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt on suede upper
Gently use a dry suede brush to remove loose dirt in the direction of the grain.
Creasing in the leather during wear
This is a natural occurrence in high-quality leather; using a shoe tree when not in use can help maintain the shape.
Soles becoming slippery
Clean the bottom of the rubber outsole with a damp cloth to remove compacted debris or dust buildup.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Handball Spezial trainers last as long as possible, keep them away from excessive moisture. If you are wearing the suede versions, consider using a protective spray before your first wear to repel dust and liquid. To clean the leather models, use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away debris, and for suede, use a specialized brush to lift dirt from the nap of the fabric. Always store your shoes in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to prevent the colours from fading or the materials from drying out.
