FAQs
What is the primary material of the adidas Handball Spezial Preloved Green?
The primary material is suede for the upper, with suede overlays. The midsole features Cream White accents, and the outsole is brown gum rubber.
Are these trainers suitable for playing handball?
While inspired by handball shoes, they are primarily designed as lifestyle or streetwear sneakers. They may not offer the specific support or performance required for competitive handball.
How do I clean the suede on these trainers?
Gently brush off loose dirt with a suede brush. For stains, use a specialized suede cleaner and a damp cloth, then allow them to air dry. Avoid water saturation.
What colors are the main accents on this shoe?
The main accents are Cream White for the three stripes and heel collar, with gold detailing for the 'SPEZIAL' branding and trefoil logo.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
It is not recommended to wear suede shoes in wet conditions as they can be easily damaged. Applying a suede protector spray can offer some resistance, but they are not waterproof.
What does 'Preloved Green' refer to?
'Preloved Green' refers to the specific shade of green used for the suede upper, evoking a vintage or gently worn aesthetic.
Is this shoe unisex?
While this specific listing is for a men's UK 4.5, the Handball Spezial model is often available in unisex sizing or variations.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dirty or stained.
Use a dedicated suede brush to gently remove surface dirt. For stains, apply a specialized suede cleaner sparingly with a soft cloth, following product instructions. Allow to air dry completely before wearing.
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable.
Suede shoes can stretch slightly with wear. Wear them with thin socks initially. If discomfort persists, consider using shoe stretchers or consulting a cobbler.
Creases forming on the toebox.
This is natural with wear for soft materials like suede. Use a shoe tree when not in use to help minimize creasing and maintain shape.
