FAQs
Are these sneakers suitable for playing sports?
While the Handball Spezial has roots in indoor sports, this modern iteration is primarily designed as a lifestyle and fashion sneaker. It offers comfort for everyday wear and light activities, but it is not intended for high-performance athletic use like actual handball or intense workouts.
How do I best clean the suede upper?
For best results, use a specialized suede brush to remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, a suede eraser or a dedicated suede cleaning solution applied with a clean cloth is recommended. Always let the shoes air dry naturally away from direct heat.
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, the suede upper is not inherently waterproof. We recommend applying a high-quality suede protector spray to help repel water and prevent stains, especially if you plan to wear them in damp conditions.
What is ADIPRENE®?
ADIPRENE® is an adidas cushioning technology located in the heel that helps to absorb impact, providing superior cushioning and protection for your feet.
Do these sneakers run true to size?
Generally, Adidas Handball Spezial sneakers tend to fit true to size for most individuals. However, foot shapes vary. We recommend consulting the official Adidas sizing guide and, if possible, trying them on to ensure the best fit.
What does 'non-marking outsole' mean?
A non-marking outsole is made from a rubber compound designed not to leave scuff marks or streaks on indoor surfaces like wooden floors or gym courts, making them suitable for various indoor environments.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dirty or stained.
Use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt. For deeper stains, apply a suede-specific cleaning solution with a clean cloth, dabbing gently, and allow to air dry. A suede eraser can also help with scuffs.
Shoes feel uncomfortable or too tight.
Ensure the laces are tied appropriately, not too tight or too loose. New shoes may require a short break-in period. If discomfort persists, verify your size against an Adidas sizing chart or consider trying a half-size larger if available, as fit can vary.
Outsole seems to lack grip.
Clean the non-marking rubber outsole thoroughly with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove any accumulated dirt, dust, or debris that might be affecting traction.
Suede color looks faded.
Exposure to direct sunlight over long periods can cause fading. Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Specialized suede restorers or dyes can be used but proceed with caution and test on an inconspicuous area first.

Care Instructions
Given the premium suede and leather materials, proper care is crucial to maintain the appearance and longevity of your Handball Spezial sneakers.
- Suede Cleaning: For dirt or light stains, use a dedicated suede brush to gently remove debris. For tougher stains, apply a small amount of specialized suede cleaner to a clean cloth and dab (do not rub) the affected area. Allow to air dry.
- Protection: Consider using a suede and leather protective spray before the first wear and periodically thereafter. This helps repel water and prevent stains.
- Drying: If your sneakers get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and maintain their shape. Allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources, which can damage suede.
- Storage: Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place, ideally in their original box or a shoe bag to protect them from dust and light.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use harsh detergents, bleach, or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the suede and color.
