adidas Originals Handball Spezial - Blue - UK 4

No, while inspired by a handball shoe, the modern adidas Originals Handball Spezial is designed for casual wear and fashion purposes, not for high-performance sports.

LWG stands for Leather Working Group. Using LWG-preferred materials indicates that the leather in these shoes comes from tanneries that are environmentally responsible and audited for sustainable practices.

These shoes feature a regular fit. We recommend referring to the adidas size guide to ensure you select the correct UK size 4, or your equivalent, for the best comfort.

The leather and synthetic upper offers some resistance, but they are not fully waterproof. We recommend avoiding heavy rain to protect the materials, especially the suede, and using a protective spray for added water resistance.

To preserve the gold foil 'Spezial' lettering, avoid abrasive cleaning methods directly on the print. Gently wipe the area with a soft, damp cloth if needed.

Its iconic status comes from its rich 70s heritage as an elite handball shoe, combined with its distinctive T-toe, serrated 3-Stripes, and timeless silhouette that has been embraced by fashion and sneaker enthusiasts.

The durable leather and synthetic materials may require a short break-in period. Wear them for shorter durations initially to allow the materials to adapt to your foot shape.

Use a specialized suede brush to gently remove loose dirt. For deeper stains, apply a suede cleaner specifically designed for such materials, following the product instructions carefully.

Ensure the rubber outsole is clean and free of debris. Regularly brush off dirt and wipe with a damp cloth. Avoid wearing them on excessively oily or wet surfaces not intended for casual footwear.
