While originally inspired by a handball shoe from 1979, the adidas Originals Handball Spezial is now primarily designed as a lifestyle and casual wear sneaker. For high-performance sports, dedicated athletic footwear engineered with modern technologies is recommended.
The Handball Spezial generally runs true to size. We recommend trying them on to ensure a comfortable fit. If you're familiar with adidas sizing, stick to your usual size. Consult a size chart if you are unsure or between sizes.
The premium suede and leather upper is not inherently waterproof. We highly recommend applying a protective spray designed for these materials to offer some water resistance and help protect against stains. However, it's best to avoid heavy rain or standing puddles to preserve the shoe's condition.
These shoes feature a premium leather and smooth suede upper, offering a soft feel and a classic aesthetic. The exact combination of leather and suede may vary slightly depending on the specific colorway or variant.
To maintain the suede's color, avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight which can cause fading. Regularly use a suede protector spray and clean with a suede brush to prevent dirt buildup that can dull the color. For specific stains, use a suede-specific cleaner sparingly.
The Handball Spezial has a moderate weight, typical for a classic sneaker that features a robust rubber sole and premium suede/leather upper. It is designed for everyday comfort and durability rather than ultra-light athletic performance.
For suede, use a specialized suede brush to gently lift dirt and restore the nap. For leather, wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap solution, then condition. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Suede and leather uppers can require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations around the house to allow them to conform to your foot shape. Ensure you have the correct size for your feet.
Clean the outsole regularly with a stiff brush, soap, and water to remove accumulated dirt or debris that might reduce traction. Check for excessive wear on the tread pattern; if worn smooth, the grip will be compromised.
