Product Information

Full details

The adidas Originals Handball Spezial is a retro-inspired sneaker designed for fashion-conscious adults who appreciate 1970s sporting aesthetics and reliable daily comfort. This iconic silhouette features a premium suede upper and a distinct gum rubber outsole, making it an excellent choice for casual wear and lifestyle use, though its court-performance origins mean it lacks the advanced technical support found in modern high-intensity athletic trainers.

FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

Yes, the Handball Spezial generally follows a standard, regular fit.

Can I use these for indoor sports?

While originally designed for handball, these are now considered lifestyle trainers. They lack the technical support for professional athletic use.

How do I remove mud from the suede?

Let the mud dry completely first, then carefully scrape it off and use a suede brush to lift the remaining residue.

Is the OrthoLite insole removable?

Yes, the sockliner can typically be removed if you prefer to use your own custom orthotics.

What is the primary material used in the upper?

The upper is constructed primarily from high-quality cow suede with synthetic overlay details.

Can I put these in the washing machine?

No, machine washing can damage the suede material and the structural integrity of the shoe. Hand-cleaning is recommended.

Troubleshooting

Water spots on suede

Allow the shoes to dry naturally, then gently brush the surface with a suede-specific brush to restore the nap.

Creasing at the toe box

This is normal for soft suede materials; use a shoe tree when not wearing the shoes to help maintain their shape.

Soles losing grip due to dirt

Wipe the gum rubber outsole with a damp cloth and mild soap, then dry immediately to restore traction.

Durable gum rubber sole provides good ground feel and traction

Setup, Compatibility & Care

These trainers follow a regular fit; it is recommended to purchase your standard size for the most accurate fit. To maintain the appearance of the suede upper, use a dedicated suede brush to remove surface dust regularly. For deeper cleaning, utilize a professional-grade suede cleaner, ensuring you avoid saturating the material with water. Always store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the suede from fading or stiffening.
