FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for sports?

Originally designed as a handball shoe in 1979, the Handball Spezial is now primarily a fashion sneaker best suited for casual wear and lifestyle purposes rather than high-performance sports.

How do I clean the suede and leather parts of the shoe?

For suede, use a soft brush to remove dirt and a suede cleaner for stains. For leather overlays, wipe gently with a damp cloth. Always avoid harsh chemicals and excessive water saturation on suede.

What is the fit like for the Handball Spezial?

The adidas Originals Handball Spezial features a regular fit. Most users find it comfortable to order their standard shoe size.

Can I wear these shoes in rainy weather?

While the shoes can withstand light moisture, prolonged exposure to heavy rain is not recommended, especially for the suede components, as it can cause damage or discoloration. A protective spray can offer some water resistance.

What kind of sole do these shoes have?

These shoes feature a durable gum rubber outsole, which provides excellent grip and contributes to their distinctive retro aesthetic.

What are the main materials used in the upper construction?

The upper is constructed with a textile base, complemented by rich suede and leather overlays for a premium and classic look.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dull or dirty.

Gently brush the suede with a dedicated suede brush to remove loose dirt and restore the nap. For stubborn stains, use a specialized suede cleaning solution and follow the product's instructions carefully.

Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable.

Ensure you've selected your correct size, as these shoes are designed for a regular fit. If new, allow for a brief break-in period, as the materials may soften slightly with wear. Check that laces are not tied too tightly.

Poor grip on certain surfaces.

While the gum rubber outsole offers good traction, it is not designed for all-weather conditions or highly slippery surfaces like ice or polished wet floors. Exercise caution in such environments.

Laces frequently come undone.

Ensure you are using a secure knotting technique. A double knot can often prevent laces from loosening during wear.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Timeless and versatile retro design.
  • High-quality suede and leather materials for durability and premium feel.
  • Comfortable for everyday, prolonged wear.
  • Excellent grip provided by the gum rubber outsole.
  • Iconic aesthetic that complements various casual outfits.

Cons

  • Suede material requires specific cleaning and care to maintain its appearance.
  • While comfortable, not designed for modern high-performance sports due to its vintage structure.
  • Lighter colorways, like white, may show dirt and scuffs more easily.

The adidas Originals Handball Spezial features a traditional lace-up closure for a secure and adjustable fit. These sneakers are designed for a regular fit and are generally true to size. They are compatible with a wide range of casual and retro-inspired clothing styles. For care, the suede upper requires specific attention: regularly brush off loose dirt with a soft-bristled suede brush. For tougher stains, use a specialized suede cleaner, applying it sparingly and gently. Avoid excessive water exposure, as it can damage the suede. Consider applying a water and stain repellent spray specifically designed for suede to help protect them from the elements. The rubber outsole can be cleaned with mild soap and water.
