The adidas Handball Spezial trainers are designed for adults seeking a versatile blend of vintage sport aesthetics and everyday comfort. Originally engineered for elite 1979 handball athletes, these shoes have been reimagined with premium oiled leather for a refined urban look. While they offer exceptional style and reliable grip with their signature gum rubber outsole, they are primarily built for casual street wear rather than high-intensity court sports in their current form.

Yes, the adidas Handball Spezial typically fits true to size for most adult wearers.
While inspired by 1979 handball gear, this version is re-engineered for casual lifestyle wear and lacks the advanced technical support found in modern performance court shoes.
Wipe with a soft, dry cloth to remove dirt. Use a leather cleaner specifically formulated for oiled or finished leathers if a deeper clean is required.
No, they are made of leather and are not intended for heavy rain or deep water exposure. Applying a leather-safe water repellent spray can provide light protection.
The interior features a synthetic leather lining designed to be comfortable and durable for daily wear.
The shoes feature a low-profile design. If you require significant arch support, you may consider adding aftermarket orthotic insoles.
Apply a high-quality leather cream or conditioner to restore moisture and buff out minor scuffs.
Wipe the bottom of the gum rubber sole with a damp cloth or soft brush to remove dust and debris.
This is a natural occurrence with genuine leather; using shoe trees when not in use can help maintain the shape.
To ensure your Handball Spezial trainers maintain their look, use a leather-specific cleaner and conditioner to nourish the oiled leather upper periodically. Avoid machine washing, as water and high-heat detergents can damage the leather finish and adhesive bonds. If the shoes become wet, air dry them naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators. For optimal fit, ensure the laces are threaded through all eyelets; since these run true to size, standard sizing is recommended.
