The ADIDAS ORIGINALS Handball Spezial Trainers are primarily designed for casual, lifestyle wear. Inspired by a 1979 indoor handball shoe, they excel in providing comfort and style for daily activities.
Thanks to their nubuck and synthetic upper and regular fit, these trainers offer a comfortable experience for walking, commuting, and general daily use. The lace closure allows for a customizable, secure fit, reducing discomfort over extended periods.
Their solid base colouring in blue, accented by Cream White 3-Stripes and gold-toned Spezial lettering, makes them highly adaptable. You can effortlessly integrate them into various ensembles, from casual jeans and t-shirts to smarter casual looks, embodying a sophisticated 70s sporting style.
The contrasting gum rubber soles not only contribute to the vintage aesthetic but also provide reliable traction and grip on various urban surfaces. The durable mix of suede and leather in the upper ensures longevity, making them a robust choice for everyday wear, though they are not engineered for high-impact sports.
Setting up your Handball Spezial Trainers is straightforward:
Lacing: Unlace the trainers and adjust the laces to your desired tightness for a secure yet comfortable fit.
Break-in: As with most leather and suede footwear, a short break-in period might be beneficial. Wear them for shorter durations initially to allow the materials to conform to your foot shape.
These trainers are designed for adult males and are highly versatile for casual and smart-casual wardrobes. Their classic design complements a wide range of clothing styles, from jeans and chinos to shorts and even some relaxed tailoring. They are ideal for daily wear, social outings, and light urban exploration.
Proper care will preserve the look and longevity of your Handball Spezial Trainers, especially given their nubuck and suede components:
General Cleaning: For light dirt, use a soft brush or cloth to gently wipe away debris from the nubuck and suede upper.
Suede/Nubuck Specific Care: For deeper cleaning or stains, use a specialized suede and nubuck cleaner and brush. Follow the product's instructions carefully. Avoid using harsh chemicals or excessive water, which can damage the material.
Gum Sole Care: Clean the gum rubber outsole with a damp cloth and mild soap to maintain its grip and appearance.
Protection: Consider using a suede and nubuck protector spray to guard against water and stains.
Drying: If wet, allow trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight.
Storage: Store them in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
