To clean your adidas Handball Spezial or other adidas Spezial trainers, gently brush off loose dirt using a soft-bristled brush. As these styles often feature suede, avoid using water or household cleaners. Instead, use a specialist suede cleaning kit to remove stains and revive the texture. Always let your trainers air dry naturally, away from direct heat or sunlight. With the right care, your sneakers will stay looking fresh for longer.

The adidas Gazelle and adidas Spezial are both iconic trainers, but they differ in design and heritage. The Gazelle has a sleek, minimal look with a flatter profile and is known for its versatility and sporty style. In contrast, the Spezial (especially the adidas Handball Spezial) has a more structured silhouette, originally designed for indoor sports, with added detailing and a slightly chunkier sole. Both feature suede uppers and retro appeal. Explore the full adidas trainers for women range or browse men’s black trainers to find your perfect pair.
To break in your adidas Handball Spezial trainers, start by wearing them for short periods around the house to let the materials soften gradually. The suede upper will gently mould to your foot with regular wear. Wear them with thicker socks at first to reduce any initial tightness or friction. Avoid rushing the process – the comfort will improve over time. With proper care, they’ll become one of your most comfortable everyday pairs.
