FAQs
What is the main purpose of the Handball Spezial trainers?
The adidas Originals Handball Spezial trainers are primarily designed for casual lifestyle wear, offering a blend of retro aesthetics and comfortable cushioning.
What does ADIPRENE® do?
ADIPRENE® is a cushioning material used in the forefoot and heel to absorb shock during impact, providing comfort and support.
Are these suitable for playing handball or other sports?
While inspired by handball shoes, these are best suited for casual wear and everyday activities. They are not designed for the high-performance demands of competitive sports.
How should I clean the trainers?
Clean the exterior with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals and direct heat for drying. Do not machine wash.
What is the benefit of the non-marking rubber outsole?
The non-marking rubber outsole provides good traction and durability without leaving scuff marks on indoor surfaces.
What is the significance of the gold foil lettering?
The gold foil 'Spezial' lettering is a design detail that adds a premium, vintage-inspired aesthetic to the trainers.
Can I wear these with different types of outfits?
Yes, their classic and versatile design makes them compatible with a wide range of casual outfits, from jeans to shorts.
Troubleshooting
Sizing feels off
Refer to the size guide and consider trying on different sizes if possible. Some users find they need to size up or down slightly based on personal preference for fit.
Gold foil lettering fading
Avoid excessive rubbing or abrasive cleaning on the gold foil areas. Gentle wiping with a damp cloth is recommended.
Traction feels less effective on wet surfaces
While the rubber outsole offers good grip, performance may be reduced on extremely wet or slippery surfaces. Exercise caution in such conditions.
