FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

The Handball Spezial generally follows standard adidas sizing, but the suede upper can feel slightly snug for those with wider feet.

Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?

No, machine washing can permanently damage the suede and gum rubber components; please clean by hand only.

Are these suitable for handball or gym use?

While originally designed for handball, modern versions are optimized for lifestyle and casual wear rather than professional athletic competition.

How do I protect the suede from stains?

It is highly recommended to apply a water and stain repellent spray specifically designed for suede before the first wear.

What does the gum rubber outsole offer?

The gum rubber provides a classic retro aesthetic and durable traction, which is a signature element of the original 1979 design.

Troubleshooting

Surface scuffs on the suede

Use a specialized suede eraser and a soft-bristled brush to gently lift dirt and buff out minor scuff marks.

Laces becoming frayed or dirty

Replace laces with standard flat athletic laces and hand-wash original laces in mild soapy water if they are merely discolored.

Outsole losing traction due to debris

Clean the gum rubber grooves using a damp cloth or a soft brush to remove accumulated dirt or small pebbles.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Versatile design suitable for casual and streetwear looks
  • High-quality suede material provides a premium feel
  • Durable gum rubber outsole offers excellent traction
  • Lightweight construction perfect for all-day use

Cons

  • Suede material is sensitive to moisture and stains
  • Narrower fit profile may require sizing adjustments
  • Not intended for high-intensity athletic performance

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Because these trainers are crafted from genuine suede, avoiding prolonged exposure to rain or harsh elements is essential for longevity. To maintain the condition of the upper, use a suede-specific brush to gently remove surface dirt after each wear. If the shoes become damp, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, which can cause the suede to stiffen or shrink. For storage, keep them in a cool, dry place and use shoe trees or stuffing to help them retain their structural integrity.
