Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) - Adidas Originals Handball Special

Q: What makes the "Pre-loved Green" colorway of the adidas Handball Spezial so special?

A: “Pre-loved Green” is a soft, almost pastel shade of green that gives the sneaker an “aged” look. Combined with the “Cream White” stripes, the shoe looks less like a modern athletic shoe and more like a perfectly preserved vintage piece from the archives. This look is particularly popular in the current streetwear scene and among fans of retro silhouettes.

Q: What's the best way to style the adidas Spezial IG6192?

A: Since the "Pre-loved Green" color has a very harmonious look, the shoe goes perfectly with light denim washes or beige Carhartt WIP trousers . For an authentic Berlin street style look from STAB , we recommend white sports socks and loose-fitting trousers that end just above the shoe to emphasize the sneaker's low silhouette.

Q: Is the suede of the adidas Spezial IG6192 sensitive to water?

A: Yes, the soft suede upper should definitely be treated with a waterproofing spray before first use. Since it's a natural product, sealing it protects against ingrained stains and moisture. For dirt, we recommend a special suede brush.

Q: How does the Handball Spezial “Pre-loved Green” differ from other adidas models like the Gazelle?

A: The Handball Spezial has a slightly more robust gum sole with a specific traction pattern originally developed for indoor sports. While the Gazelle often has a smoother silhouette, the Spezial appears somewhat more distinctive and "sport heritage" due to its T-shaped toe cap and textured suede.

Q: Does the adidas Spezial IG6192 also fit wider feet?

A: The shoe has a rather narrow to regular fit. However, since suede stretches over time and adapts to the shape of the foot, it offers a very high level of comfort after a short break-in period. People with very wide feet often choose half a size larger.
