FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for playing handball?

While inspired by handball heritage, these 'Pink Gum' Handball Spezial are designed primarily for lifestyle and casual wear. They offer comfort and style but may not provide the specific support or performance features needed for professional sports.

How do I clean the gum sole?

The gum sole can be cleaned with a damp cloth. For scuffs, a melamine foam eraser or a specialized sole cleaner can be used carefully. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the rubber.

What is the material of the upper?

The upper is made from premium leather, offering a soft feel and durable construction.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

The leather upper can be sensitive to excessive moisture. While they can withstand light, occasional rain, they are not waterproof. It's best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain and to dry them thoroughly if they do get wet.

How do I find the right size?

The sizing is listed in UK adult foot sizes. It's recommended to refer to a standard shoe size conversion chart or try them on if possible to ensure a comfortable fit, as sizing can vary slightly between brands.

What is the main benefit of the Sporty & Rich collaboration?

The collaboration brings a unique, retro-inspired design aesthetic, blending adidas's classic silhouettes with Sporty & Rich's vintage and lifestyle-focused vision, creating a distinctive look for everyday wear.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight upon arrival.

Leather can stretch slightly with wear. Try wearing them around the house for short periods to break them in. If still uncomfortable, consider if they are the correct size.

Gum sole shows scuff marks.

Gently use a melamine foam eraser (magic eraser) on the scuff marks. Alternatively, a specialized sole cleaner can be effective. Test any cleaning product on a small, hidden area first.

Leather appears dry or stiff.

Apply a small amount of leather conditioner or cream specifically designed for leather footwear. Allow it to absorb before buffing off any excess.

Discoloration on the pink upper.

For light marks, try wiping gently with a slightly damp cloth. For stubborn stains, use a cleaner formulated for pink or light-colored leather, always testing in a discreet spot first.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning Leather: Wipe the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a specialized leather cleaner, testing it on an inconspicuous area first. Avoid excessive water.

  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag or the original box to protect them from dust and moisture.
