adidas Handball Spezial - Grey - Striped - UK 5.5

While the Handball Spezial has origins as an indoor sports shoe, this modern iteration is primarily designed for casual wear and street style. We do not recommend them for high-intensity running or sports activities.

The adidas Handball Spezial typically runs true to size. For this variant, a UK size 5.5 is offered. We generally recommend choosing your standard UK shoe size for adults.

Suede is sensitive to water and can be damaged by heavy rain. It's best to avoid wearing these shoes in wet conditions. Applying a water-repellent suede protector can offer some protection against light moisture.

For routine cleaning, use a soft suede brush to remove dirt. For stains, a specialized suede cleaner and eraser are recommended. Always test any cleaning product on an inconspicuous area first.

The gum rubber sole provides excellent grip and durability for everyday use. It's also a key element of the shoe's classic, retro aesthetic, linking it back to its original 1979 design.

Yes, the adidas Handball Spezial series is often released in a variety of colors. Please check our other product listings for available options beyond this grey suede variant.

Gently brush the suede with a specialized suede brush. Brush in small, circular motions and then in one direction to restore the nap and vibrancy.

If recently wet, blot excess water with a clean cloth. Once dry, use a suede brush to gently rub the affected area. For stubborn stains, a professional suede cleaner or a specialized suede shampoo may be necessary.

After wearing, allow the shoes to air out completely. Insert cedar shoe trees to absorb moisture and odors, or use shoe deodorizer sprays/pouches specifically designed for footwear.

Clean the sole regularly with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove dirt, debris, or oil buildup that can reduce traction. Ensure the sole is completely dry before wearing.

Wipe the leather with a soft, damp cloth. For more stubborn marks, use a leather cleaner or a mild soap solution applied with a cloth, then wipe clean and air dry.
