While durable and comfortable for everyday active juniors, these adidas Originals Handball Spezial Junior trainers are designed for casual wear and general activities, not for high-performance sports or specific athletic training.
This specific variant features a durable leather upper. Some other variants in the Handball Spezial range may be made with suede, so always check the product details for the exact material composition.
For the leather upper, wipe with a damp cloth and use a leather cleaner for tougher stains. The rubber outsole can be cleaned with mild soap and water. Always air dry, and avoid machine washing or drying.
adidas sizing is generally consistent. We recommend checking the adidas size chart to ensure the best fit. If in doubt, measure your junior's foot length and compare it to the chart.
The leather upper offers some resistance to light moisture, but these trainers are not waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain should be avoided, and they should be dried properly if they get wet to prevent damage.
The trainers feature a cushioned insole for comfort, which provides basic support for everyday wear. For juniors requiring specific arch support, custom orthotics or insoles can often be used.
Ensure you have the correct size. If the fit is slightly off, adjust the laces. For a loose fit, tighten laces more firmly; for a tight fit, try loosening them. Consider if thick or thin socks are affecting the fit.
For light scuffs, a soft, damp cloth can often rub them out. For deeper marks, a specialized leather cleaner or conditioner applied carefully can help restore the appearance. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
Clean the outsole regularly using a stiff brush (like an old toothbrush) and a solution of mild soap and water. Scrub gently to remove dirt and grime that can reduce traction. Rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry.
Remove insoles if possible and air them out. Sprinkle a small amount of baking soda inside the trainers and let sit overnight, then shake it out. Ensure socks are clean and shoes are allowed to dry out fully between wears.
Upon receiving your adidas Originals Handball Spezial Junior trainers, ensure a proper fit. Have the junior try them on with their typical socks. Check for adequate toe room and ensure the heel is snug but not tight. Adjust the tonal lace fastening to secure the foot comfortably without undue pressure points. A well-fitting shoe prevents discomfort and supports natural foot development.
These trainers feature a unisex design and a versatile Core Black and Footwear White colourway, making them compatible with a wide array of junior clothing styles. They pair well with casual wear such as jeans, joggers, shorts, and even some smart-casual school uniforms, offering a touch of classic athletic style.
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your trainers:
