While originally designed for indoor handball courts in 1979, the adidas Handball Spezial Suede is now primarily worn as a stylish casual shoe. For serious athletic performance or high-impact sports, dedicated modern sports footwear is recommended.
For best results, use a suede brush to remove loose dirt. For stains, apply a specialized suede cleaner following the product's instructions. Always allow the shoes to air dry away from direct heat and avoid machine washing.
The T-toe construction refers to the T-shaped overlay on the toe box area of the shoe. This design provides additional durability and reinforcement to a high-wear zone, a key feature carried over from its original indoor court design.
No, the suede material is not waterproof and has limited water resistance. It is highly recommended to avoid wearing them in wet conditions. You can apply a suede protector spray for added, but not complete, water repellency.
The gum rubber outsole is renowned for its excellent traction and flexibility, particularly on indoor surfaces. It provides reliable grip and stability, making the trainers comfortable and secure for everyday casual wear.
Like all natural suede materials, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or harsh elements can cause some fading over time. Proper care and storage in a cool, dry place away from direct light can help preserve the colour.
Gently clean with a dedicated suede brush to remove loose dirt. For stubborn stains, use a specialized suede cleaner following the product's instructions. Always test on an inconspicuous area first. Allow to air dry.
The gum rubber outsole may accumulate dirt or debris over time. Clean the outsole regularly with a damp cloth or soft brush to restore optimal grip. Ensure the sole is dry before use.
The plush suede upper may require a short break-in period to conform to the shape of your foot. Adjust the lacing for optimal comfort and wear them for short periods initially to allow them to break in naturally.
Use a dedicated suede brush to gently brush the nap of the suede in one direction. This will lift the fibers and restore its original texture and appearance.
