No, while they originated as a handball court shoe in 1979, the modern Adidas Handball Spezial is designed as a lifestyle sneaker. It is not intended for high-performance sports or intense physical activity.
It is highly recommended to apply a high-quality suede and nubuck protective spray before the first wear and reapply periodically. This creates a barrier against moisture and stains.
Absolutely not. Washing machines can severely damage the suede, leather, and adhesive construction of the shoes. Always clean them by hand using appropriate suede care products.
Generally, Adidas Handball Spezial models tend to fit true to size. However, individual foot shapes vary, so if you are unsure, it's always best to try them on or consult a size guide.
The Adidas Handball Spezial features a durable gum rubber sole, which provides good traction and contributes to its classic retro aesthetic.
Like all colored suede, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can potentially cause some fading over time. Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct light to preserve the color.
Use a dedicated suede brush to gently brush the nap of the suede in one direction to lift dirt and restore its texture. For stubborn dirt, use a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner as directed.
Immediately blot excess liquid with a clean, dry cloth. Do not rub. Allow the shoes to air dry completely, away from direct heat. Once dry, use a suede brush to restore the nap. For persistent spots, consider a professional suede cleaning service.
Ensure you have the correct size. Try adjusting the lacing to be less restrictive. Wear thin socks, or use a shoe stretcher specifically designed for suede to gently expand the material in pressure points over time.
Clean the rubber sole regularly with a damp cloth or soft brush and mild soap to remove dirt, mud, and debris that can reduce traction. Ensure the sole is completely dry before wearing.
Getting started with your Adidas Handball Spezial is straightforward. Maintaining their pristine condition, however, requires a bit of attention due to the suede and leather materials.
Proper care is crucial for extending the life and maintaining the appearance of your suede and leather sneakers.
