FAQs
What is the primary material of these shoes?
The upper of these shoes is primarily made from smooth suede.
Are these shoes suitable for playing handball?
While inspired by handball shoes, these are designed for casual wear and lifestyle use, not high-impact athletic performance.
How should I clean the suede material?
Use a suede brush for regular cleaning and a suede eraser for stains. Avoid using water directly on the suede.
What is the inspiration behind the 'Jamaica' series?
The 'Jamaica' series, in this case, honours the iconic Bob Marley, blending music and sport heritage.
Do these shoes come in other colors?
This specific model is presented in Black. However, other variations of the Handball Spezial might be available in different colors.
What kind of fit can I expect?

Troubleshooting
Suede appears dull or dirty
Use a suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For stubborn marks, use a suede eraser.
Shoes feel slightly tight
Wear them with thicker socks for a short period to allow the suede to stretch slightly. You can also try using a shoe stretcher.
Color transfer onto socks
This can happen with new, dark suede. Wear darker socks initially, or consider a suede sealant spray specifically designed to prevent color bleed.
Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces
Ensure the rubber outsole is clean. For new shoes, break them in by walking on rougher surfaces for a short time.
