Product Information

Full details

The adidas Handball Spezial is a classic, low-profile trainer designed for adults seeking a blend of vintage aesthetic and modern versatility. Its key strength lies in its grounded, earthy color palette and heritage design, making it an excellent choice for casual wear and daily use. One caveat to consider is that the suede or leather construction requires proactive maintenance to keep the rich olive and brown tones looking their best in varying weather conditions.

FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?

The Handball Spezial features a standard, slightly narrow retro fit. If you have particularly wide feet, you may find sizing up by a half-size more comfortable.

How do I determine the right size?

These trainers generally fit true to size. You should choose your standard UK adult size for a comfortable, snug fit.

Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?

No, machine washing can damage the adhesive and the texture of the leather or suede. Stick to manual cleaning methods.

Is the material waterproof?

The materials are not inherently waterproof. We recommend applying a water-repellent spray to protect the upper from the elements.

What is the primary material of the upper?

Depending on the specific variant, the upper is constructed from either premium leather or soft suede, both of which provide a durable finish.

Troubleshooting

Visible surface stains on suede upper

Use a specialized suede eraser or a soft brush to gently lift dirt without damaging the texture.

Sole losing grip over time

Clean the bottom of the gum sole with a damp cloth to remove compacted debris and restore traction.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Versatile earth-tone colorway that matches most outfits
  • Timeless design with strong retro appeal
  • High-quality materials ensure long-term durability
  • Lightweight and comfortable for all-day wear

Cons

  • Suede models may require extra protection against moisture
  • Low-profile sole offers less arch support than dedicated running shoes
  • Light-colored gum soles can show dirt more easily than black rubber

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Because these trainers feature delicate suede or premium leather, proper care is essential to maintain the appearance of the olive and brown tones. Avoid getting the shoes soaked in water, as this can cause discoloration or stiffening of the material. To clean, use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove surface dust and dirt from the suede. For leather variants, a damp cloth is usually sufficient for cleaning. It is highly recommended to apply a protective spray suitable for your specific material type before wearing them outside to shield against rain and spills. Store the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading.
