FAQs
Do I need to size up for the Handball Spezial?
Yes, this model runs small, so we recommend sizing up by half a size for an optimal fit.
Can I wash these in a machine?
No, machine washing can damage the velvet material and the glue structure of the outsole. Stick to professional hand-cleaning methods.
Is the charm detachable?
Yes, the shoe comes with a detachable charm as part of the collaboration details.
Are these suitable for sports?
While based on a handball design, these are lifestyle trainers meant for fashion and everyday walking, not high-performance athletics.
How do I maintain the yellow color?
Keep the shoes away from prolonged direct sunlight when not in use to prevent color fading, and clean spills immediately with a dry cloth.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight in the toe box
This style runs small; ensure you have sized up by half a size. If already sized up, try thinner socks to provide extra room.
Velvet upper looks flattened or worn
Use a soft brush to gently 'fluff' the fibers in the opposite direction of the lay to restore the original velvet texture.
Dirt stains on the velvet
Allow the mud to dry completely before gently brushing it off. Do not use water until the debris is removed to prevent the dirt from setting into the fabric.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your trainers, proper care is essential, especially given the velvet material. Avoid wearing these in rain or muddy conditions, as velvet can trap moisture and stain easily. If the shoes get dusty, use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove debris in the direction of the nap. For deep cleaning, spot-treat with a specialized sneaker cleaning solution applied to a cloth rather than scrubbing directly on the fabric. Compatibility-wise, these shoes fit best when following the manufacturer recommendation to size up by half a size from your standard adidas measurement to account for the internal padding and tapered toe box.
