Our take on the adidas Men's Handball Spezial

The adidas Handball Spezial is a low-profile suede sneaker that started as a 1979 indoor handball shoe and became a lifestyle staple. It has a gum rubber outsole, a T-toe overlay and a slim, flat silhouette. It sits in the same family as the Gazelle and Samba but with a softer suede upper and a grippier indoor sole. It is a general-release shoe with a wide colorway range, so value comes from the suede build and court-ready sole rather than from markdowns.

Questions and answers

How does the Handball Spezial fit compared with the Samba?
It fits similarly slim, but the suede upper is softer and stretches more with wear. People with wide feet should consider going up half a size in either shoe.
Is it good for all-day walking?
Yes for most people, once broken in. The sole is thin and flat, so anyone who needs arch support should add an insole.
Can I wear it for actual handball?
It was designed as an indoor court shoe and the gum sole grips well on gym floors. It lacks modern cushioning, so it suits casual play more than competitive use.
How do I clean the suede?
Brush off dry dirt with a suede brush and use a suede eraser on scuffs. Keep it away from water and treat it with a protector spray before first wear.
How does it compare with the Gazelle?
Both are slim suede trainers, but the Handball Spezial has a softer upper and a gum sole tuned for indoor courts. The Gazelle is a little more of a street shoe with a flatter, simpler sole.

At DICK'S Sporting Goods, for $35.97, 70% off, as of our latest check.
