Product Information
Full details
The adidas Handball Spezial Trainers are designed for adult men who appreciate a fusion of vintage athletic heritage and modern streetwear versatility. Originally engineered for elite handball players in 1979, these shoes offer a timeless aesthetic and a durable leather construction that works well for casual daily wear; however, potential buyers should note that their slim, retro-inspired profile provides less arch support compared to contemporary high-performance running shoes.

FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Most users find them to be true to size, though the slim design may feel tight for those with wider feet.
Can I use these for sports?
While originally handball shoes, they lack the advanced cushioning and support found in modern performance athletic gear.
What is the material of the upper?
The upper is constructed from premium leather.
Are these trainers waterproof?
They are not waterproof; leather can be damaged by excessive exposure to water.
How do I best clean them?
Wipe with a soft, damp cloth and use leather-appropriate conditioning products to keep the material in good condition.
Does this shoe come in other sizes?
Yes, the Handball Spezial series is available in a wide range of sizes; please check the available variant list for your specific fit.
Troubleshooting
Creasing in the leather toe box
Insert shoe trees when not in use to help the leather maintain its shape and minimize deep creases.
Dirty outsoles
Use a soft-bristled brush and mild soapy water to scrub the rubber outsole, then wipe clean with a dry cloth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your trainers maintain their look, keep them away from harsh chemical cleaners. Since they feature leather construction, use a slightly damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt. For deeper cleaning, apply a dedicated leather cream to keep the material supple and prevent cracking. When not in use, store them in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to prevent colour fading. Pair these trainers with slim-fit jeans, chinos, or track pants to best showcase their vintage profile.
