Handball Spezial - Silver - UK 9.5

The adidas Originals Handball Spezial trainers are lifestyle shoes inspired by vintage sports footwear. While comfortable for everyday wear, they are not engineered for high-performance athletic activities or competitive sports.

For routine cleaning, gently brush the suede with a dry, soft-bristled suede brush. For stains, use a specialized suede cleaner following the product's instructions. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first.

These trainers feature a regular fit. The lace closure allows for adjustability to suit various foot widths. Most users find them true to size.

The suede upper is not inherently waterproof. Exposure to heavy rain or prolonged wet conditions can damage the material. It's recommended to treat the shoes with a suede protector spray for light moisture resistance and avoid wearing them in very wet weather.

The outsole of the Handball Spezial is made from durable rubber, providing good traction and longevity for everyday use.

'Spezial' refers to a specific line within adidas Originals that draws inspiration from the brand's rich archives, often reissuing classic models or creating new designs with a vintage aesthetic, like the original 1979 handball shoe.

Use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt. For deeper stains, apply a suede cleaner according to its instructions. Avoid scrubbing vigorously, which can damage the nap of the suede.

Ensure you have the correct size. Suede can stretch slightly with wear, so allow for a break-in period. Adjust lacing to optimize fit. If discomfort persists, consider trying a different size.

The rubber outsole is designed for general traction. While suitable for most urban environments, exercise caution on extremely wet or slippery surfaces. Regularly clean the outsole to prevent build-up that might reduce grip.

Minimize exposure to direct sunlight for extended periods. Store shoes in a cool, dry place. A suede renovator spray can sometimes help restore color.
