FAQs
Are the adidas Handball Spezial suitable for sports?
The adidas Handball Spezial was originally designed for handball, but this reimagined version is primarily intended for casual wear and streetwear. While durable, they are not optimized for high-performance athletic sports in contemporary use.
How do I determine the correct size?
The product is noted to 'Fit regular'. We recommend choosing your usual adidas shoe size. If you are between sizes, consider trying the larger size for optimal comfort.
What materials are used in these sneakers?
These sneakers feature a premium blend of leather and synthetic materials for the upper, a comfortable synthetic lining, and a durable rubber sole for excellent grip.
Can I machine wash these shoes?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the leather and synthetic materials. Please refer to the 'Care' section for proper cleaning instructions.
Are the gold metallic details durable?
The gold metallic details are subtle accents designed to complement the overall aesthetic. With proper care and avoidance of harsh abrasives, they are designed to maintain their appearance through regular wear.
Are these shoes slip-resistant?
The rubber outsole is designed to provide superior grip and durability on various common surfaces. While they offer good traction, they are not specifically certified as slip-resistant for industrial or specialized environments.
Troubleshooting
Squeaking sound while walking
A common issue with new shoes. Try applying a small amount of baby powder or cornstarch under the insole to reduce friction. Ensure the laces are not excessively tight.
Stains on the leather or textile upper
Act quickly! For general dirt, gently wipe with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a sneaker-specific cleaner suitable for both leather and textile materials. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first.
Laces frequently come untied
Ensure you are tying your laces securely, possibly using a double knot. If laces are worn or slippery, consider replacing them with new ones that offer better grip.
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable after prolonged wear
While these shoes fit regular, comfort can vary. Ensure you have the correct size. If discomfort persists, consider trying thinner socks or after-market insoles for personalized arch support or cushioning.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Timeless and iconic design suitable for streetwear
- Durable construction with quality materials (leather and synthetic)
- Comfortable fit for everyday wear

- Superior grip provided by the rubber outsole
Cons

Setup:
Simply unbox your adidas Handball Spezial sneakers, insert your feet, and adjust the lace-up closure to achieve your desired snugness. The 'Fit regular' design means they should feel comfortable right out of the box, but a few wears will help them mold to your foot shape.
Compatibility:
The Aurora Ink (blue) colorway with Wild Sepia and Gold Metallic accents offers significant versatility. These sneakers are compatible with a wide array of casual wardrobe items including:
- Denim: Classic blue or black jeans are a perfect match.
- Chinos/Khakis: Elevate a smart-casual look.
- Shorts: Ideal for a relaxed summer aesthetic.
- Socks: Wear with no-show, ankle, or crew socks depending on your style preference.
Care:
Proper care will preserve the premium look and longevity of your Handball Spezial sneakers:
- Cleaning the Upper: Gently wipe the leather and synthetic upper with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For more stubborn stains, use a specialized sneaker cleaner designed for both leather and textile, following the product's instructions. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive brushes.
- Laces: Remove laces and hand wash them separately with mild soap and water if needed.
- Drying: Always allow your shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight or artificial heat sources (like radiators or hair dryers), as these can damage the materials and cause discoloration.
- Storage: When not in use, store your sneakers in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees or stuffing them with crumpled paper can help maintain their shape.
