Full details
The Adidas Originals Handball Spezial Trainers are for adult males seeking a blend of vintage style and everyday comfort. Their key benefit is a versatile design that pairs easily with various outfits, offering a classic look.

These trainers feature nubuck leather and synthetic uppers, lace fastenings, and contrasting gum rubber soles for traction and a retro aesthetic. The iconic 3-Stripes and gold Spezial lettering add signature Adidas branding.

Are these trainers suitable for running?
These trainers are designed primarily for lifestyle wear and light athletic activities like handball or indoor training. They are not optimized for high-impact running.
How should I clean the suede parts of the shoes?
Use a suede brush to clean off dry dirt. For stains, use a specialized suede cleaner and always allow the shoes to air dry.
Do these trainers offer good grip?
Yes, the contrasting gum rubber soles are designed to offer good traction and grip on various surfaces.
What is the origin of the Handball Spezial design?

Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?

How do I find the right size?
Refer to Adidas's sizing charts for accurate measurements. These trainers are available in various UK adult male sizes.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks dirty or matted.
Use a suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, consult a specialized suede cleaner.
Laces are worn or damaged.
Replace laces with standard shoe laces of a similar length and color. Available at most shoe stores or online retailers.
Gum sole scuff marks.
Try gently rubbing the scuff mark with a pencil eraser or a melamine foam cleaner. For persistent marks, a professional shoe cleaner may be required.
Uncomfortable fit.
Ensure laces are adjusted correctly for a snug but not tight fit. Consider wearing appropriate socks. If discomfort persists after break-in, they may not be the right fit for your foot shape.
