FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for sports training?

These Handball Spezial Junior trainers are designed primarily for casual wear and everyday use. While they offer good grip for general activities, they are not specialized for high-impact sports training.

How do I clean the suede material?

Use a suede brush to remove loose dirt. For stains, spot clean with a damp cloth or use a dedicated suede cleaner. Always allow suede to air dry naturally and avoid excessive moisture.

What is the main design inspiration for these shoes?

These trainers are inspired by the iconic adidas Handball Spezial shoes first released in 1979, blending authentic '70s design with modern comfort features.

Can these be worn by both boys and girls?

Yes, these trainers are unisex and designed for juniors, making them suitable for any child regardless of gender.

What kind of sole do these shoes have?

They feature a gum rubber outsole, known for its durability and excellent grip, providing secure traction.

What does the 'Spezial wordmark' refer to?

The gold foil Spezial wordmark is a classic branding element that appears on the side of the shoe, near the 3-Stripes, referencing the shoe's heritage.

Troubleshooting

Sizing seems incorrect

Consult the Adidas sizing chart for junior footwear and measure the child's foot accurately. Compare measurements to the chart for the best fit. Consider the width of the foot as well.

Suede is stained

For fresh stains, blot immediately with a clean, dry cloth. For dried-in stains, use a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner following product instructions. Avoid using water on large areas of suede.

Tread appears worn quickly

Ensure the child is wearing the correct size; an ill-fitting shoe can cause uneven wear. Check for excessive friction on surfaces. These are casual trainers and may show wear faster with rigorous, non-intended use.
