This specific adidas Originals Handball Spezial model features a durable leather upper, providing a premium feel and robust construction for long-lasting wear.
While inspired by a 70s handball shoe, the modern Handball Spezial is primarily designed for casual wear and streetwear fashion, offering comfort and style. It is not engineered for high-performance athletic activities like running or rigorous sports.
For routine cleaning, wipe the leather with a soft, damp cloth. For deeper cleaning or stains, use a specialized leather cleaner and conditioner to maintain the material's quality and appearance. Avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing.
Generally, adidas Handball Spezial models are considered to run true to size. However, for the most accurate fit, it is always recommended to consult the official adidas size chart and measure your feet.
The leather upper offers some natural resistance to light moisture, but these shoes are not fully waterproof. For optimal protection in wet conditions, we recommend applying a suitable leather protector spray.
The Handball Spezial stands out with its distinct T-toe overlay, classic serrated 3-stripes, and a low-profile silhouette rooted in 70s sports aesthetics. Its gum rubber outsole further contributes to its iconic and vintage-inspired look.
For comfort and style, pair these with standard crew socks, ankle socks, or even no-show socks depending on your preferred look and weather. Moisture-wicking socks can enhance comfort during extended wear.
Adjust the lacing system. If still uncomfortable, ensure you have the correct size by referring to adidas's official size guide and measuring your feet.
Clean the leather thoroughly with a damp cloth, then apply a good quality leather conditioner to moisturize and restore its luster.
Light scuffs can sometimes be buffed out gently with a soft cloth. For deeper scratches, a specialized leather repair cream or polish in a matching color may be necessary.
Squeaking often comes from the insole rubbing against the shoe's interior. Try removing and reinserting the insole, or applying a small amount of baby powder underneath it. If the squeak persists, check if the outsole is separating.
Remove the insoles and air out the shoes. Use an anti-odor spray or sprinkle baking soda inside to absorb moisture and neutralize smells. Consider wearing moisture-wicking socks.
