FAQs
What is the main inspiration for the Handball Spezial Loafer?
The design is inspired by the classic adidas Handball Spezial silhouette, reinterpreted into a contemporary loafer format.
What material is the upper made of?
The upper is made from 'Aurora Cocoa' suede.
Are these shoes suitable for athletic performance?
While they offer comfort and grip from the gum outsole, they are designed more for casual wear and style rather than high-impact athletic activities.
How should I clean the suede material?
Use a suede brush for general cleaning and a suede eraser or a slightly damp cloth for specific stains. Avoid soaking the material.
What do the serrated 3-Stripes signify?
The serrated 3-Stripes are a design element that subtly incorporates the iconic adidas branding onto the suede upper.
Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?
Suede is not ideal for wet conditions. It is recommended to protect them with a suede protector spray and avoid wearing them in heavy rain.
What is the significance of the metallic gold Trefoil?
The metallic gold Trefoil signet is a premium branding detail that adds a touch of elegance to the shoe.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears discolored or dirty.
Gently brush the suede with a dedicated suede brush. For stubborn marks, use a suede eraser or a slightly damp cloth, testing on an inconspicuous area first. Allow to air dry completely.
Shoes feel slightly stiff initially.
Wear the shoes around the house for short periods to allow the suede to soften and conform to your foot shape. Avoid prolonged wear until they feel comfortable.
Gum sole shows scuff marks.
Most minor scuffs on gum soles can be gently cleaned with a damp cloth. For more persistent marks, a magic eraser can be carefully used, avoiding contact with the suede upper.
