Product Information
Full details
The adidas Handball Spezial is a timeless lifestyle trainer designed for adults who value heritage aesthetics, offering a blend of vintage 1979 sport design with modern daily comfort. While these trainers excel as a versatile staple for casual wear and terrace-inspired fashion, they are primarily styled for lifestyle use rather than high-intensity court sports, meaning they may lack the advanced support features found in contemporary performance athletic footwear.

FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, the adidas Handball Spezial typically follows standard UK sizing and offers a regular fit.
Can I use these for playing handball?
While originally designed for the sport, modern handball requires advanced stability and impact protection that contemporary specialized shoes provide.
How do I clean the suede upper?
Use a dedicated suede brush for dry dirt and, if necessary, a suede-specific cleaning foam applied sparingly.
Are the insoles removable?
The OrthoLite sock liners can generally be removed for cleaning or replacement.
What makes the Spezial different from other adidas models?
The Spezial is defined by its unique T-toe overlay, slim profile, and heritage gum rubber outsole design.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty maintaining suede appearance
Use a specialized suede brush to lift the nap and remove dust after each wear.
Excessive moisture inside the shoe
Remove the OrthoLite sock liner and let it air dry completely outside of the shoe.
