The upper is crafted from a durable mix of supple nubuck suede and leather.
While originally designed for handball, the modern adidas Originals Handball Spezial is primarily intended for casual, everyday wear and lifestyle purposes rather than high-performance sports activities.
For the suede, use a suede brush and specialized cleaner. For leather parts, wipe with a damp cloth and use leather conditioner. The gum sole can be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap. Always air dry.
OrthoLite® sockliners are known for their exceptional comfort, breathability, and long-term cushioning. They help manage moisture and inhibit odor, contributing to a more comfortable foot environment.
The adidas Originals Handball Spezial features a regular fit. Most users find them to run true to their usual adidas shoe size.
Due to the suede and leather materials, it's advisable to avoid heavy wet weather to prevent water damage and staining. Applying a water and stain protector spray can offer some protection.
For suede, gently brush with a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt and restore the nap. For leather, wipe with a damp cloth and apply a leather conditioner. For tougher stains, use appropriate cleaning products for each material.
Check the OrthoLite® sockliner for signs of wear. While durable, sockliners can compress over time. Consider if replacement insoles would improve comfort, or ensure your laces are tied securely but not too tightly.
This can sometimes be caused by the sockliner rubbing against the inside of the shoe. Try removing the sockliner, cleaning the inside base of the shoe and the bottom of the sockliner, then reinserting. A light sprinkle of baby powder beneath the sockliner can also help.
Clean the gum rubber outsole regularly with a damp cloth and mild soap. Dirt and small debris can accumulate in the grooves, reducing traction. Use a soft brush for hard-to-reach areas.
Your adidas Originals Handball Spezial shoes come ready to wear. Simply adjust the laces to achieve a comfortable and secure fit that suits your foot. Ensure they are neither too tight nor too loose to prevent discomfort or slippage.
These sneakers are designed for casual wear and lifestyle purposes. They pair well with a wide range of outfits, from athletic-inspired looks to smart-casual ensembles. While inspired by sports, they are not intended for high-performance athletic activities like competitive handball or running.
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the premium appearance of your Handball Spezial shoes:
